By  Thomson  Prentice,  Science  Correspondent 

The  Soviet  Union  yesterday  miles  away,  who  was  said  to 
appealed  to  Western  countries  have  close  contacts  with  hos- 
ier help  m dealing  with  the  pi tals  and  rescue  services,  said 
disaster  at  its  nuclear  power  between  10,000  and  15,000 

pie  had  been 


station  in  the  Ukraine,  where 
a fire  was  raging  out  of  control 
and  thousands  of  families 
were  reported  to  have  been 
evacuated  from  a wide  sur- 
rounding area. 

One  Russian  diplomat  de- 
scribed the  accident  at  the 
Chernobyl  plant  as  "the  worst 
ever  in  the  world"  of  its  kind, 
and  according  to  a United 
Press  International  report 
quoting  sources  in  Kiev,  about 
2,000  people  may  have  been 
killed. 

Radiation  from  the  disaster 
area  was  still  being  recorded  in 
Scandinavian  countries,  and 
West  German  officials  ex- 
pressed concern  that  easterly 
winds  might  bring  contamina- 
tion towards  Germany. 

Britain  is  not  at  risk,  accord- 
ing to  experts  here. 

The  US  said  last  night  that 
it  was  "ready,  willing;  and 
able"  to  gi  ve  Russia  medical 
and  technical  help,  but  had 
not  been  asked  for  assistance. 

The  Soviet  Union  did,  how- 
ever. seek  advice  from  nuclear 
power  experts  in  Sweden  and 
West  Germany  on  how  tb 
control  the  fire  burning  at 
Chernobyl  several  days  after 
the  accident. 

Authorities  in  Moscow  have 
released  few  details  about  the 
cause  or  extent  of  the  damage, 
but  some  Western  scientists 
believe  a meltdown  of  nuclear 
fuel  — the  ultimate  disaster  — 
had  occurred. 

An  18-tnHe  radius  area 
around  the  station  was.berag 
evacuated,  according  to  some 
reports*- with  fleets  of  buses 
and  -other  vehicles  comman- 
deered to  take  tens  of  thou- 
sands of  people  to  safety. 

A resident  in  Kiev,about  60 


people  had  been  evacuated 
from  PripyaL  the  city  built 
dose  to  the  plant  to  house  its 
labour  force. 

"Eighty  people  died  imme- 
diately and  some  2000  people 
died  on  the  way  to  hospitals," 
the  source  said.  "The  whole 
October  Hospital  in  Kiev  is 
packed  with  people  who  suffer 
from  radiation  sickness. 

“The  dead  were  not  buried 
in  ordinary  cemeteries  but  in 
the  village  of  Pigorov.  where

radioactive  wastes  are  usually 
buried.” 

A spokeswoman  at  the  Oc- 
tober Hospital  later  denied 
that  patients  from  the  accident 
area  were  being  treated  there. 
Other  details  of  die  UPI  report 
could  not  be  confirmed. 

Western  embassies  in  Mos- 
cow said  there  were  many 
similar  rumours,  including  a 
figure  of  up  to  3,000  deaths, 
but  it  was  impossible  to  assess 
them. 

Last  night  the  Soviet  Gov- 
ernment issued  a statement 
through  Tass,  saying  two  peo- 
ple had  been  killed,  and  that 
evacuations  had  taken  place 
.from  the  plant  vicinity  and 
nearby  population  centres. 

The  "radiaticn-aituation"  ai 
the  power  station  had  been 
stabilized  . and  - "necessary 
medical  aid"  given  to  those 
affected. 

The  statement  gave  few 


details  of  the  nature  of  the 
accident  but  said  it  "resulted 
in  the  destruction  of  part  of 
the  structural  elements  of  the 
building  housing  the  reactor, 
its  damage,  and  a certain  leak 
of  radioactive  substances". 

The  statement  said  the  acci- 
dent affected  what  it  called  the 
fourth  power  generating  unit, 
but  said  the  other  three  units' 
were  in  order,  although  they 
were  shut  down  as  a precau- 
tionary' step. 

"Priority  measures  have 
been  taken  to  deal  with  the 
effects  of  the  accident.  The 
inhabitants  of  the  station's 
settlement  fPripyat)  and  three 
nearby  populated  localities 
have  been  evacuated.'' 

Pripyat  has  a population  of 
between  25,000  and  45,000, 
according  to  various  reports. 

Some  health  experts  in  Brit- 
ain who  specialize  in  the 
hazards  of  nuclear  radiation 
believe  many  people  living 
near  Chernobyl  could  die 
within  weeks  or  months  from 
the  effects  of  very  high  doses 
of  radiation. 

Other  victims  could  con- 
tract cancer  in  five  or  more 
years'  time,  and  some  mothers 
were  at  risk  of  giving  birth  to 
babies  with  genetic  disorders 
or  mental  handicaps. 

Although  the  Soviet  Gov- 
ernment was  seeking  advice 
from  Swedish.  West  German 
and  British  nuclear  safety 
experts  on  how  to  deal  with 
the  fire  at  the  plant,  the 
United  Kingdom  Atomic  En- 
ergy Authority  is  the  only 
organization  with  . sire* 
experience.  - 

A fire  broke  out  at 
Windscale,  now  known  as 
Sellafield,  in  1957.  but  was 
insignificant  in  comparison 
with  the  Chernobyl  outbreak. 


Russians  end  news  blackout 


. The.  Soviet  authorities  last 
night  ended  a news  blackout 
on  details  of  the  nuclear 
accident  at  the  Chernobyl 
plant  when  an  announcement 
from  the  Council  of  Ministers 
admitted  that  two  people  had 
been  killed  in  the  mishap  and 
an  unspecified  number  of 
people  evacuated. 

Tne announcement,  read  in 
sombre  tones  on  national 
television,  was  deliberately 
riot  placed  at  the  top  of  the 
news  which  is  broadcast 
throughout  the  country. 

It  acknowledged  for  the  first 
time  that  the  accident  had 
destroved  part  of  the

structural  .elements  of  the 
building  bousing  the  reactor. 

The  statement,  released  si- 
multaneously by  Tass.  was  the 
first  official  news  of  the  acci- 
dent issued  in  24  hours.  It  said 
that  a Government  commis- 
sion, including  the  heads  of 
ministries,  leading  scientists 
and  other  specialists,  was 
working  in  the  region.  - 
“The  radiation  situation  at 
the  electric  power  station  and 
adjacent  territory  has  now 
been  stabilized  and  the  neces- 
sary medical  aid  is  being  given 
to  those  affected,"! t said. 

It  added:  "The  inhabitants 
of  the  nuclear  power  station's 


settlement  and  three  nearby 
populated  localities  have  been 
evacuated." 

The  Council  of  Ministers 
statement  gave  no  indication 
of  the  number  of  injuries. 

Unofficial  estimates  here 
put  those  involved  in  the 
evacuation  at  several 
thousand. 

The  Soviet  statement, 
which  followed  a day  of 
prevarication  by  the  Foreign 
Ministry  which  refused  to 
answer  any  queries  from 
Western  diplomats,  said:  "Ac- 
cording to  preliminary  data, 
the  accident  took  place  in  one

Poland 
sets  up 
crisis 
team 

From  Roger  Boyes 
Warsaw 

Poland  has  set  op  a top-level 
civil-military  crisis  team  to 
deal  with  the  threat  of  a 
radioactive  cloud,  apparently 
covering  scores  of  mules,  that 
has  gusted  into  north-eastern 
Poland 

Mr  Jerzy  Urban,  the  gov- 
ernment spokesman,  said  yes- 
terday that  there  were  contacts 
between  the  Soviet  and  Polish 
Governments  and  between  sci- 
entific experts  of  the  two 
countries  to  gauge  the  scope  of 
the  problem. 

Iu  Poland,  the  team  headed 
by  Mr  Zbigniew  Szaiajda. 
Deputy  Prime  Minister,  met 
yesterday  mo  ruing  to  draw  up 
emergency  plans. 

Members  of  the  team  in- 
dude  the  ministers  of  health 
and  agriculture,  a general,  a 
scientist  and  the  head  of  the 
Polish  atomic  energy  au- 
thority. 

Hospitals  in  the  area  have 
been  put  on  standby  alert  and 
food  reserves  have  been 
mobilized. 

The  Polish  Ministry  of 
Health  instructed  Poles  not  to 
buy  or  drink  milk  that  comes 
from  the  north-east  of  Poland. 

Although  most  cows  in  the 
area  are  eating  dried,  stored 
fodder,  some  may  be  grazing 
on  pasture  land,  and  this  coaid 
prove  to  be  a high  risk, 
especially  for  bottle-fed 
babies. 

Every  vegetable  should  be 
thoroughly  wash  and  medi- 
cines would  be  dispensed  to 
reduce  the  effects  of  radioac- 
tivity, the  ministry  said. 

In  a separate  communique, 
the  ministerial  crisis  team  said 
that  treatment  facilities  were 
available,  but  stressed  that 
that  the  radiation  cloud  did  not 
represent  a real  danger,  main- 
ly because  it  was  still  moving. 
Had  the  dond  remained  static, 
radioactivity  would  prove  to  be 
a real  problem. 

Mr  Urban  did  not  disclose 
any  details  about  die  density 
of  the  chmd  which  has  been 
blown  310  miles  from  the 
Chernobyl  power  station  but 
slid  !*ss  * &!•  triggered 
..bote  Js*  *.  ~sge  readings  in 
about  200  geiger  counters  ran 
by  the  civil  and  military 
authorities. 

That  suggests  the  cloud 
covers  a large  area  probably 
taking  in  Suwalki  in  die  top 
north-eastern  comer,  part  of 
the  Baltic  coast  and  cities  like 
Olsztyn  and  Bialystok. 

The  overall  strategy  is  to 
play  down  the  crisis.  So  far  no 
restrictions  have  been  put  on 
food  sales  though  the  measure 
seems  to  be  under  review. 

It  is  an  area  of  lakes  and 
forests  which  usually  has  a 
significant  rainfall  at  this  time 
of  year. 

First  visitors  from  the 
north-east  yesterday  reported 
that  the  news  of  the  cloud  was 
beginning  to  spread  by  word  of 
mouth  and  people  were  begin- 
ning to  buy  in  canned  fi 

Until  yesterday,  there 
been  no  press  reports  a 
the  Soviet  disaster,  but  by 
yesterday  evening,  H had  be- 
come the  lead  news  item  on 
radio  and  telerishm.

Failure  to  alert  criticized 


By  Richard  Evans 
Lobby  Reporter 

The  House  of  Commons 
united  last  night  to  strongly 
criticize  the  Soviet  Union  for 
failing  to  immediately  notify 
neighbouring  countries  of  the 
disaster  at  its  nuclear  power  . 
plant  near  Kiev. 

Mrs  Thatcher  told  MPs  the 
Swedish  and  Finnish  govern- 
ments were  only  informed  ot 
the  incident  after  radioactive 
clouds  had  readied  their 
countries. 

But  she  reassured  them  that 
preliminary  tests  carried  out 
in  Britain  following  the  mas- 
sive nuclear  leak,  bad  failed  to 
detect  any  increase  m the  level 
of  radioactivity  m the  UK. 

Together  with  other  Cabinet 
ministers,  the  Prime  Minister 
went  out  of  her  way  to  stress 
the  "absolutely  superb”  safety 
record  of  Britain’s  nuclear 
industry.  "We  have  a very 
high,  standard  of  safety  and 
design,  construction  operation 
and  maintenance  of  nuclear 


plant  in  the  UK."  she  said. 

Mr  Peter  Walker,  the  Secre- 
tary of  Slate  for  Energy,  has 
officially  asked  Moscow  to 
make  available  frill  details  of 
the  accident. 

In  a statement  to  the  Com- 
mons, Mr  Kenneth  Baker,  the 

Britons  safe 

The  Foreign  Office  said 
yesterday  that  as  for  as  could 
be  established  no  Britons  had 
beat  injured  by  the  accident. 

There  are  71  Britons  living 
hi  Kiev  and  30  in  Minsk. 
Britons  in  Kiev  had  reported 
they  were  safe  and  the  Rus- 
sians had  said  conditions  in 
Minsk  were  normaL 

Secretary  of  State  for  the 
Environment,  said  a disturb- 
ing feature  of  the  incident  was 
the  way  in  which  knowledge  of 
it  had  not  come  from  Moscow 
but  from  monitoring  by 
neighbouring  countries. 

**J  hope  the  Soviet  Union 
will  make  available  informa- 


tion about  this  incident  be- 
cause it  is  very  valuable  for  the 
whole  of  the  nudear  industry 
and  the  world  to  know  as 
much  as  possible." 

He  confirmed  that  about 
100  British  students  were  in 
Minsk,  about  60  miles  north 
of  the  Chernobyl  nuclear 
plant,  when  the  accident  oc- 
curred. Embassy  officials  in 
Moscow  were  investigating. 

The  UK  Atomic  Energy 
Authority  and  the  National 
Radiological  Protection  Board 
were  carrying  out  substantial 
monitoring  of  radioactivity 
levels.  The  Minsitry  of  Agri- 
culture would  be  checking  soil 
samples  on  ihe  east  coast  and 
in  north  Wales  as  well  as 
testing  milk  samples  all  this 
week. 

Mr  Baker  said  ihe  graphite 
moderated  reactor  responsible 
for  the  nuclear  leak  was  of  a 
unique  design  and  there  were 
none  like  it  in  the  WesL 

British  experts  had  rejected 
the  reactor  as  unstable  in  the 
1950s. 


disrupt  jails  throughout  the 
country  as  claims  were  made 
of  “total  anarchy"  and  riot 
conditions  inside  Gloucester 
prison  yetpjrday.  The  ge.er- 
nor  suspended  officers  taking 
part  in  protest  action  over 
manning  levels. 

Members  of  the  Prison 
Officers'  Association  in  En- 
gland, Wales  and  Northern 
Ireland  are  behg  instructed 
from  today  to  take  industrial 
action  described  as  extensive, 
highly  disruptive  and  on  a 
continuing  basis. 

POA  officials  forecast  last 
night  that  the  action  would  be 
more  serious  than  in  1980-81 
when  troops  were  called  in  to 
man  an  incomplete  prison  and 
two  camps  were  opened  to 
take  overspill  prisoners. 

At  Gloucester,  more  than  20 
prisoners  staging  a rooftop 
protest  over  the  officers'  lock- 
out hurled  bricks  and  tiles  at 
senior  staff  and  demanded 
that  they  be  allowed  to  return 
|_io  their  posts. 

'/Police  equipped  with  riot 
gear  stood  by  outside  the 
20  foot  high  walls  as  pieces  of 
tile  crashed  into  the  street  and 
on  to  parted  cars.  Prisoners 
yelled  their  demand  that  they 
would  stay  on  the  roof  unit] 
the  officers  were  allowed  to 
return. 

About  30  senior  staff  and 
assistant  governors  from  other 
prisons  were  last  night  be- 
lieved to  be  running  the  prison 
and  more  are  expected  to  be 
drafted  in  today . 

They  were  helping  Mr  Nich- 
olas Wall,  the  governor,  to 
keep  control  of  the  300  in- 
mates but  prison  officers  who 


with  Ihe 

police  said  that  prisoners  were 
totally  unsupervised  inside 
2nd  gave  warning  that  the 
tense  situation  could  escalate 
into  violence. 

Some  of  the  assistant  gover- 
nors brought  in  from  prisons 
in  the  South-west  and  Mid- 
lands had  to  face  the  anger  and 
abuse  of  prison  officers  when 
they  were  forced  to  leave  the 
jail  to  unload  a vegetable  lorry 
outside  the  main  gatt  Its 
driver  had  refused  to  go  inside 
when  POA  members  told  him 
that  their  dispute  was  official. 

Last  night  Mr  Ian  Dunbar, 
the  regional  director  of  the 
Prison  Service  for  the  South- 
west. who  was  called  into 
Gloucester  to  make  a report 
for  Mr  Douglas  Hurd,  the 
Home  Secretary,  and  to  advise 
Mr  Wail  on  the  best  way  to 
cope,  said  that  the  prison  was 
secure.  He  said  there  was  no 
danger  to  the  public,  but 
conceded  that  the  situation 
inside  was  “tense  and  fragile.” 

He  said  the  23  prisoners 
who  had  clambered  on  to  the 
roof  had  been  reduced  to  13  by 
icatime. 

Mr  Byron  Hughes,  the  POA 
branch  chairman,  was  in  ur- 
gent contact  last  night  with  his 
national  executive  to  report 
on  the  deteriorating  situation. 

He  told  The  Times:  "There 
has  been  a state  of  total 
anarchy  inside  the  prison. 
Prisoners  were  wandering  the 
grounds  unsupervised,  some 
tried  to  break  into  the  ladder- 
shed  and  others  got  on  to  the 
roof.  We  are  still  standing  by 
outside  to  make  sure  no  one 
escapes,  but  the  situation  is 
impossible.”

Business 
forces  tax 


By  David  Smith 

The  Treasury  yesterday  an- 
nounced significant  tax 
changes  in  response  to  criti- 
cism of  last  month's  Budget.  It 
also  changed  the  rules  to  allow 
companies  to  finance  them- 
selves without  relying  on  bank 
fccn\A\:ra.  • 

Intense  lobbying  by  leading 
British  companies,  including 
ICl  and  Reuters,  rorced  the 
Treasury  to  tone  down  its 
controversial  tax  on  American 
Depositary  Receipts  - British 
shares  denominated  in  dollars 
and  traded  in  New  York. 

Mr  John  MacGregor.  Chief 
Secretary  to  the  Treasury,  said 
that  the  rate  of  the  proposed 
tax  was  being  cut  from  5 to  ! .5 
per  cent. 

Sir  Nicholas  Guodison. 
chairman  of  the  Stock  Ex- 
change. welcomed  ihe 
changes. 

Share  prices,  partly  in  an- 
ticipation of  the  Treasury's 
announcements,  were  strong 
yesterday.  The  Fin^nUii 
Times  30-share  index  rose  by 
25.9  points  to  1,391.2.

The  bright  English  spring 
sun  shone  on  ihe  last  journey 
of  Wallis.  Duchess  of  Wind- 
sor, yesterday  afternoon,  as  it 
had  too  little  shone  on  her  life. 

Her  funeral  service  was 
simple  and  shorn  of  pomp,  her 
burial  intensely  private,  wit- 
nessed by  only  four  members 
of  the  Royal  family  and  eight 
old  friends  and  retainers  from 
half  a century  of  exile.  It  was 
the  way  she  and  the  Duke  had 
planned  it  together. 

She  did  not  so  much  come 
home,  for  little  of  her  life  was 
in  England:  she  came  to  join 
her  husband,  who  had  lain 
under  a spreading  plane  tree  in 
the  Royal  burial  ground  at 
Frog  more  since  1972,  end 
whose  death  abandoned  the 
Duchess  to  a desolate 
widowhood. 

Her  body,  which  fced  kin  In 
the  Albert  Memorial  Chapel 
of  Si  George's  in  V.mdsor 
Custi*  sir.ee  i:s  arrival  from 
Paris  «n  Sunday,  was  carried 
by  a bearer  party  of  Welsh 
Guards,  of  which  the  Duke 
was  once  Colonel- in-Chief, 
early  y esterday  afternoon  to  be 
placed  on  its  purple  draped 
catafalque  in  the  quire  of  St 
George's.  On  top  of  it  lay  the 
Queen's  wreath  of  white  and 
orange  lilies,  almost  the  only- 
flowers  present. 

The  guard  was  taken  np  by 
the  Military  Knights  of  Wind- 
sor, their  scarlet  tunics  a rare 
ray  of  colour  in  a stark  scene. 

Over  ]i)0  mourners  filed 
into  their  places  in  the  nave. 
The  French  influence  was 
strong:  British  ambassadors  to 
Paris  past  and  present:  friends 
from  the  continental  soda! 
circle  of  which  the  Windsors 
were  so  tong  the  fulcrum;  old 
acquaintances  like  Lady  Di- 
ana Mosley  and  Lady  Alexan-

Future  power  stations  could  go  back  to  coal 


* * A ft  fr 


By  David  \ 

Energy  Comes] 

The  Central  Electricity 
Generating  Board  (CEGB) 
may  be  forced  to  accelerate 
■plans  to  introduce  a new  breed 
of  coal-banting  power  stations 

because  of  renewed  ow 

the  safety  of  nuclear^  power 
stations  after  Monday's  acci- 
dent in  the  Soviet  Union. 

Scientists  and  engineers  at 
the  CEGB  research  centre 
pear.  Gloucester,  hare  been 


cause  the  CEGB  believes  that, 
with  demand  for  electricity 
growing  by  an  average  4 per 
cent  a year,  it  will  need  new 
stations  in  operation  by  the 
mid-1990s. 

The  industry  would  prefer  to 
build  about  six  nuclear  sta- 
tions but  has  accepted  that 
planning  consent  delays  may 
make  it  necessary  to  build  coal 
stations.

station  involved' in  Monday's 
accident,  Sizewell  B would  be 
a pressurized  water-cooled 
design. 

Tbe  Department  of  Energy 
bad  planned  to  rale  on  the 
Sizewell  report  by  the  end  of 
this  year,  but  with  nuclear 
power  likely  to  emerge  as  a big 
election  issue  it  is  expected  to 
postpone  the  report  until  the 
safety  issues  have  been 
reconsidered. 

Any  government-imposed 
delay  on  the  construction  of 
tbe  Sizewell  power-station  will 


be  a bitter  personal  blow  to 
Lord  IVfprshall,  the  CEGB's 
chairman. 

Eighty  per  cent  of  electricity 
is  generated  by  coal.  17  per 
cent  by  nuclear  power  and  3 
per  cent  by  oil. 

The  Government  would  wel-

the  CEGB.  the  National  Coal

way  of  continuing  to  provide

Mineworkers  has  once  again 
rejected  a Coal  Board  offer  on

terday. 

Mr  lan  MacGregor,  the 
NCB's  chairman,  said  the 
board  would  stick  to  its  threat 
to  withdraw  the  offer  today 
with  the  result  that  miners 
would  lose  back  pay  dating 
from  the  beginning  of 
November. 

Mr  MacGregor  reaffirmed

iance  chiefs 
to  impose 
pending  limit 
on  manifesto 

By  Anthony  Bevins,  Political  Correspondent 

. Leaders  of  the  Liberal-So-  But  the  letter  also  gives  a 
"'rial  Democratic  Alliance  arc 


"•seeking  cuts  in  their  policy 

• commitments  in  an  attempt  to 
"/impose  a lop  annual  limit  of 
—■£10,000  million  on  their  pro- 
jected increased  expenditure 
’■during  the  lifetime  of  a five- 

' "year  Parliament. 

T;  A confidential  letter  sent  to 
Alliance  MPs  by  the  parties* 
two  economic  spokesmen,  Mr 
;a'Jan  Wriggjeswonh,  SDP  MP 
_;fllbr  Stockton  South,  and  Mr 
...JDavid  Penhaligon,  Liberal 
".;MP  for  Trura  says:  “ There 
are  going  to  be  severe  public 
expenditure  restraints  for 
some  years  to  come  and  a 
number  of  cherished  hopes 
may  have  to  be  delayed.' 

“The  truth  is,  unless  we  are 
prepared  to  argue  for  substan- 
tially higher  taxation,  which 
;_we  do  not  believe  to  be 

* feasible,  we  must  be  prepared 
to  establish  strict  priorities  for 
higher  spending,  to  consider 
phasing  in  the  more  expensive 
changes,  to  identify  areas 
where  savings  can  be  made, 
and  to  seek  new  solutions  to 
problems." 

lt  is  understood  that  Alli- 
ance leaders  have  been  stung 
into  tough  action  by  the 
Government's  damaging 
- charge  that  Labour  commil- 
** J merits  could  cost  as  much  as 
£34.000  million  — vehement- 
ly denied  by  Mr  Roy 
Hattersley.  the  shadow  Chan- 
cellor. 

. . The  Alliance  letter,  agreed 
~,by  a joint  leadership  policy 
meeting,  says:  “The  Alliance 
.should  plan' for  a maximum  2 
percent  per  annum  increase  in 
.’total  public  expenditure  over 
an  initial  five-year  period, 
compared  with  the  present 
’1  government's  experience  of  a 
1.5  per  cent  increase  since 
1983-84. 

“Extra  spending  to  create 
jobs  and  revive  industry  and 
commerce  should  have  the 
highest  priority,  with  other 
policy  areas  taking  second 
place'  except  to  the  extent  that 
they  fulfu  these  economic 
objectives." 

An  annex  to  the  letter  says 
that  existing  commitments  in- 
clude real  improvements  in 
health  and  personal  social 
services,  education  and  train- 
ing. housing,  transport  inner 
cities,  job  creation.  industry 
and  overseas  aid.

be  imposed  on  agriculture,  law 
and  order,  defence  and  envi- 
ronmental services. 


wanting  that  the  Alliance 
commitment  to  boost  public 
sector  pay  in  real  terms  may 
have  to  be  financed  by  effi- 
ciency improvements  or  re- 
ductions in  service. 

It  says:  “Real  improve- 
ments in  public  sector  pay  are 
expensive  — a 25  per  cent  in- 
crease in  nurses'  pay  would 
cost  £750  million  per  annum; 
10  per  cent  would  cost 
£300  million...25  percent  in- 
crease in  teachers'  pay  would 
cost  £1.25  billion  per  annum; 
10  per  cent  would  cost 
£500  million." 

The  letter  says  that  the  task 
of  restraining  public  expendi- 
ture will  not  be  easy,  as  the 
present  government  has  dis- 
covered. "Even  a government 
dedicated  to  cutting  back  pub- 
lic expenditure  has  not  been 
able  to  do  so." 

Tories  stay  calm 
in  by-election 

Conservatives  in  Derby- 
shire West  maintained  a stoi- 
cal calm  yesterday  after  the 
latest  opinion  poll  suggested 
that  its  once  large  Jead  for  the 
May  8 by-election  contest  was 
being  whittled  down  by  oppo- 
sition parties. 

Mr  Patrick  McLoughlin,  the 
Conservative  candidate,  took 
the  press  on  a peaceful  ride 
along  the  Cromford  canal  on  a 
horse-drawn  barge,  and  de- 
clared that  he  would  not  be 
panicked  by  the  opinion  polls. 

He  was  charitable  towards 
the  former  Conservative  MP, 
Mr  Matthew  Pam's,  whose 
resignation  caused  the  by- 
election.  who  said  on  Monday 
that  it  was  even  possible  to 
imagine  a Labour  candidate 
winning  the  seat. 

Mr  McLoughlin.  aged  28.  a 
former  miner,  who  suffered 
the  jibes  of  his  colleagues 
when  he  worked  throughout 
the  miners'  strike,  appeared 
well-equipped  to  cope  with 
any  crisis. 

He  said:  "We  will  go  out 
calmly  and  cooly  to  get  the 
best  vote  we  can.” 

But  the  BBC  Newsnighi 
poll,  which  gave  the  Conser- 
vatives 37  per  cent,  the  Alli- 
ance 32  per  cent  and  Labour 
30  per  cent  - it  received  only 
I7perccnt  in  1983—  has 
electrified  the  campaign.

Commons 
anger  over 
Cornish 
tin  mines 

By  Sheila  Gunn 
Political  Staff 

MPs  of  all  parties  rounded 
on  foe  Government  in  the 
Commons  yesterday  for  fail- 
ing to  give  aid  to  save  the  few 
remaining  Cornish  tin  mines. 

If  help  is  not  forthcoming 
before  the  end  of  the  week  it  is 
feared  that  planned  mine  clo- 
sures will  be  unstoppable. 

Mr  David  Harris,  Conser- 
vative MP  for  St  Ives,  predict- 
ed that  the  pumps  would  be 
turned  off  at  Geevor  mine  this 
weekend,  which  would  mean 
it  could  not  be  reopened, 
because  of  flooding. 

Rio  Tinto  Zinc  has  an- 
nounced that  it  will  dose  its 
three  mines  with  foe  loss  of 
1,000  jobs. 

Mr  Peter  Morrison,  Minis- 
ter of  State  for  Trade  and 
Industry,  repeatedly  told  MPs 
that  an  application  for  help 
from  Geevor  tin  mines  was 
being  considered,  but  there 
was  none  from  RTZ. 

The  Cornish  tin  industry, 
which  once  boasted  600 
mines,  has  been  hit  by  the  fall 
in  the  world  price  of  tin  from 
£9,500  a tonne  to  below 
£4,000  in  one  year. 

Mr  David  Penhaligon,  Lib- 
eral MP  for  Truro,  predicted 
that  prices  would  rise  again. 

Mr  Robin  Maxwell- Hy slop. 
Conservative  MP  for  Tiv- 
erton, and  a member  of  the 
trade  and  industry  select  com- 
mittee, said  it  was  better  to 
"take  a risk"  over  foe  future 
price,  of  tin  than  suffer 
unemployment. 

Mr  Robert  Hicks.  Conser- 
vative MP  for  Cornwall  South 
East,  said  that  the  delay  in 
offering  aid  was  causing  frus- 
tration and  annoyance.

Subsidy  the  only  hope  for  tin  miners 


By  Tim  Jones 

A thousand  Cornish  tin  min- 
ers were  this  week  confronted 
with  the  prospect  that  they 
may  be  finished  for  ever.  Not 
unexpected,  the  news  was 
nevertheless  devastating. 

Tin  mining  is  hard  and 
brutal:  a face  worker  is  old  at 
45.  sapped  by  working 
1.400  feet  below  ground  in 
humid  heatThe  men  were 
shaken  by  the  announcement 
from  Rio  Tinto  Zinc  that  it 
was  to  close  its  three  mines  in 
August  unless  "no  practical 
solution  is  forthcoming". 

That  means  a huge  subsidy 
from  the  Government  to  tide 
the  industry  over  the  crisis 
caused  by  foe  default  of  foe 
International  Tin  Council  in 
October  last  year  and  the 
subsequent  failure  of  the  22 
member  governments  to  agree 


a common  cause  of  action. 

Since  then,  a Commons 
select  committee  on  trade  and 
industry  has  accused  the  Gov- 
ernment of  "secrecy  and 
incompetence”  over  its  han- 
dling of  the  crisis  and  recom- 


mended financial  support  for 
foe  industry. 

The  price  of  tin  has  plum- 
meted from  £9,500  a tonne  to 
about  £3,900  a tonne  on  the 
international  spot  market. 
Cornish  tin  is  viable  only  if  it

sells  for  about  £7,000  a tonne. 

Miners  who  work  in  Wheal 
Jane,  South  Crofty  and  Wheal 
Pendarves  are  convinced  that 
if  they  can  receive  govern- 
ment help  of  about  £50  mil- 
lion they  can  ride  the  storm 

Mr  Peter  Gatiey,  aged  35, 
married  with  two  children, 
said  yesterday  at  foe  rock  face: 
“We  all  have  commitments 
which  match  our  earnings  and 
if  the  mines  close  there  is  little 
hope  of  any  other  job." 

Another  miner.  Mr  Jeff 
Parsons,  who  will  travel  to 
London  today  to  plead  foe 
case,  said:  “Considering  tin  is 
a prime  natural  resource 
which  can  meet  half  of 
Britain's  needs  it  seems  crazy 
to  dose  us  down  for  short- 
term financial  considerations. 
AH  we  are  asking  for  is  help  to 
tide  us  over  this  bad  patch." 


Gangs  replace  poachers 

By  John  Young,  Agriculture  Correspondent 
The  traditional  local  poach-  man.  He  will  have  achieved  often  equipped  with 


er  with  his  “one  for  the  pot' 
has  been  largely  replaced  by 
well-equipped  criminal  gangs. 
Mr  Leonard  Soper,  Chief  Con- 
stable of  Gloucestershire,  told 
a conference  in  London  yes- 
terday of  the  Standing  Confer- 
ence on  Countryside  Sports. 

The  rewards  of  poaching  on 
a large  scale  were  likely  to  be 
considerable,  whether  for 
game,  deer  or  fish,  he  said 

If  thwarted  or  unsuccessful 
in  poaching  they  would  turn  to 
other  criminal  activity.  There 
were  large,  isolated  properties 
in  the  countryside  attractive 
tobuiglars. 

"The  modem  poacher  is 


some  knowledge  of  the  coun- 
tryside and  sufficient  of  foe 
countryman's  skills  to  enable 
him  to  catch  or  kill  his  quarry. 

"But  he  will  certainly  not 
have  a countryman's  sense  of 
balance  and  proportion  and 
feeling  for  foe  countryside.  He 
will  certainly  not  be  consider- 
ing foe  well-being  or  liveli- 
hood of  those  who  live  in  foe 
countryside,  and  he  will  not  be 
considering  foe  well-being  of 
or  the  question  of  cruelty  to, 
his  quarry." 

The  modern  poacher  was 

not  alone,  was  prepared  to  with  hunt  saboteurs  and  en- 
travel  long  distances  and  was  swing  that  foe  disruptions

Study  into 
choice  of 
jury  trial 

By  Oar  Legal  Affairs 
Correspondent 

The  reason  defendants 
choose  to  be  tried  at  the  crown 
courts  by  jury  rather  than  by 
magistrates  is  to  be  studied  in 
a £75.000  research  project 
launched  by  the  Lord 
Chancellor's  Department. 

The  research,  to  be  under- 
taken at  York  University,  is 
aimed  at  finding  ways  to  cut 
the  workload  at  crown  courts 
which  has  substantially  in- 
creased in  recent  years.  ’ 

It  also  comes  at  a time  when 
the  Government  proposes  in 
its  next  criminal  justice  Bill  to 
remove  the  right  to  trial  by 
jury  in  the  case  of  three 
offences  to  ease  foe  crown 
court  workload. 

Defendants  and  their  law- 
yers will  be  interviewed  about 
their  reasons  for  choice. 


Man  in  the  news 


Moderate  realist  at  union’s  he! 


Mr 


By  Craig  Seton 

Bill  Jordan,  who  was 
confirmed  yesterday  as  the 
new  president  of  foe  Amal- 
gamated Union  of  Engineer- 
ing Workers.  Britain's  second 
largest  union,  is  regarded  by 
the  labour  movement  as  a 
right  winger  and  by  those  who 
know  him  well  as  a realist  and 
a moderate. 

In  the  ballot  to  find  a 
successor  to  Mr  Terence  Duf- 
fy. Mr  Jordan  polled  1 19.220 
votes  and  Mr  John  Tocher, 
the  left-wing  candidate, 
95.511. 

At  a press  conference  in 
Birmingham  yesterday  Mr 
Jordan,  aged  50.  foe  union's 
divisional  organizer  in  the 
Midlands  for  10  years,  was 
keen  to  play  down  his  reputa- 
tion as  a “moderate." 

He  said:  "I  may  be  regarded 
as  a moderate,  but  I am 
avaricious  for  jobs  and  greedy 


for  success  that  will  bring 
wealth  and  a fair  share  of  that 
wealth  for  working  people." 

He  said  that  as  an  engineer, 
he  took  a practical  view  of  the 
modern  world.  "I  think  we 
have  got  to  get  away  from 
some  of  the  ideology  of  foe 
pasL  I warn  success  for  our 
industries.  I want  it  for  our 
union  and  I want  it  in  jobs. 

"Our  outlook  has  to  be 
dominated  by  logic  first  - if  an 
employer  will  not  listen  to 
logic,  then  and  only  then  you 
have  to  resort  to  muscle." 

Mr  Jordan,  married  with 
three  grown-up  daughters  and 
about  to  become  a grandfather 
for  the  fourth  time,  bailed  foe 
result  of  foe  ballot  for  foe 
presidency  as  a “great 
victory". 

No  one  who  had  witnessed 
foe  cut  back  and  devastation 
of  manufacturing  industry 
could  underestimate  the  dam- 


age tfr 
AUEW 


that  had  been  done. 


pored  to  work  for  foe  success 
of  industry. 

Mr  John  Allen,  district  sec- 
retary of  foe  AUEW  in  Bir- 
mingham, who  knows  Mr 
Jordan  well,  said:  "He  is  quite 
different  from  Teny  Duffy, 
who  was  an  instinctive  fellow, 
whereas  Bill  will  make  sure  he 
is  well  armed  and  well  briefed 
before  he  challenges  an  em- 
ployer on  foe  facts. 

"He  is  a very  deep  research-^ 
er  and  a detailed  negotiator. 

Mr  Jordan  takes  up  his  new 
post  on  May  7.  He  intends  to 
leave  Birmingham  and  move 
to  London  with  his  wife,  Jane. 

Mr  Jordan  is  a passionate 
football  follower,  but  his  team, 
Birmingham  City,  has  been 
relegated  to  foe  second  divi- 
sion. He  said  that  his  unstint- 
ing support  showed  his 
commitment  to  the  underdog.

Local  elections 


Alliance  challenges  Hatton 


By  Peter  Davenport 

Voters  in  the  local  elections 
in  Liverpool  have  the  oppor- 
tunity to  do  what  the  Labour 
Party  leadership  has  so  far 
failed  to  achieve:  to  end  the 
Militant  domination  of  city 
council  politics. 

Liberal-SDP  Alliance  lead- 
ers in  foe  city  are  confident  of 
achieving  a big  enough  swing 
in  foe  May  8 election  to  make 
them  foe  biggest  party  and 
wrest  control  from  Labour. 

Thirty-seven  of  foe  99  coun- 


cil seats  will  be  contested  next 
week:  17  held  by  Labour, 
seven  by  foe  Tories  and  10  by 
the  Alliance.  Of  the  Labour 
seats  13  are  held  by  council- 
lors among  foe  47  appealing 
against  disqualification  as  a 
result  of  their  rates  rebellion. 

The  main  issue  throughout 
foe  campaign  is  foe  perfor- 
mance of  the  Labour  council 
during  foe  past  few  years  and 
its  tactics  or  financial  confron- 
tation with  the  Government. 

if  the  Alliance  achieves  its 
targets  foe  composition  of.tbe 


Tories  put  brave  face 
on  Scottish  elections 

By  Ronald  Faux 

Scottish  Conservatives  said  Rating  reforms,  among  foe 


yesterday  that  they  were  "qui- 
etly confident"  about  their 
chances  in  the  regional  elec- 
tions on  May  S,  which  wfll  be  a 
difficult  test  in  popularity. 

Conservatives  run  three  of 
the  nine  Scottish  regional 
councils,  only  one  of  them  with 
an  overall  majority. 

The  Government  has  no 
realistic  hopes  of  winning 
ground  elsewhere  given  its 
controversial  policies  in  Scot- 
land, which  have  not  been 
presented  to  the  party's  credit 


harsh  legacies  bequeathed  by 
Mr  George  Younger  to  Mr 
Malcolm  Rlfkind,  his  succes- 
sor as  Secretary  of  State  for 
Scotland,  have  received  a 
Green  Paper,  but  foe  benefits 
of  the  change  have  not  been 
generally  grasped  by  Scottish 
ratepayers. 

The  Conservatives  are  also 
feeling  foe  backlash  from 
public  spending  cuts,  foe  do- 
sure  of  the  Gartcosh  steel 
plant  and  other  issues  which 
have  put  the  Scottish  Office 
team  on  the  defensive. 


council  will  be:  Alliance  47 
seats,  Labour  45,  Conserva- 
tives six.  with  one  seat  vacant 

However,  if  the  47  Labour 
councillors  lose  their  appeal 
against  disqualification  fur- 
ther elections  will  have  to  be 
held  for  their  seats  within  42 
days  and  foe  Alliance  expects 
to  win  16  and  achieve  overall 
control  of  the  council. 

The  Alliance  says  that  a 
15  per  cent  swing  on  May  8, 
as  achieved  when  they  over- 
turned a 1. 000-vote  Labour 
majority  in  foe  Old  Swan 
council  by-election  in  Jamt- 
ary.  would  give  them  up  to 
nine  Labour  seats. 

But  foe  crucial  campaign  is 
taking  place  in  foe  seven  Tory- 
held  seats  foe  Alliance  must 
win  to  end  Labour  oontroL 
Four  are  in  wards  where 
Liberals  already  have  council- 
lors and  arc  confident  of 
victory.  The  other  force, 
Allerton,  Croxtefo  and  Wool- 
len. are  solidly  Conservative 
and  are  being  fought  by  SDP 
candidates  who  are  campaign- 
ing heavily  to  persuade  Toiy 
electors  that  tactical  voting  is 
foe  only  means  of  ending  foe 
reign  of  Mr  Derek  Hatton  and 
his  colleagues. 

Pany  campaigners  report 
“phenomenally  good  res- 
ponse" to  their  arguments. 


Mayors  at 
Domesday 
service 

A total  of  400  mayore  and 
Lord  Mayors  from  forosghoat 
Britain  joined  Qieen  Eliza- 
beth, the  Queen  Mother,  at 
Westminster  Abbey  yesterday 
to  celebrate  foe  nine-hun- 
dredth anniversary  of  the 
Domesday  Book. 

It  was  one  of  the  biggest  ever 
gatherings  of  local  authority 
leaders.  The  mayors,  who  had 
special,  permission  from  the 
Lord  Mayor  of  Westminster  to 
wear  their  rtd  robes  and- 
c^emomal  chains  in  the  Ab- 
bey,  were  invited  totbe  service 
by  foe  Domesday.  Committee. 

Their  ^presence  emphasized 
the  importance  of  William  foe 
Conqueror's  book  as  a ibemida- 
tion  stone  for  Britain's  nation- 
al and  local  government. 

The  Queen  Mother,  who 
later  attendedthe  Duchess  of 
Windsor's  funeral  at  Windsor, 
wore  a black  hat  and  coat. 

Several  hundred  dignitaries 
crowded  into  the  Abbey,  parts 
of  which  are  older  than  the 
Domesday  Book  of  1086. 

Among  them  were  Lord 
Hailsham  of  St  Marylebone, 
foe  Lord  Chancellor,  and  Mr 
Bernard  Weatherill,  the 
Speaker  of  foe  House  of 
Commons. 

Mr  Geoffrey  Martin,  the 
Keeper  of  Pnbtic  Records  told 
them:  “There  is  nothing  in  our 
history  quite  like  the  Domes- 
day Book". 

In  his  address  he  praised  its 
“confident  professionalism" 
and  thoroughness.  A facsimile 
of  the  book  was  carried 
through  the  Abbey  during  foe 
service. 


Challenge 
over  nurse 
home  sale 

By  Nicholas  Timmins 
Social  Services 
Correspondent 

The  Royal  College  of  Nurs- 
ing yesterday  challenged  foe 
Government  to  issue  guidance 
on  foe  sale  of  nurses’ 
accommodation. 

The  college  has  said  that  foe 
health  service’s  ability1  to  re- 
cruit staff  and  to  respond  to 
terrorist  incidents  or  disasters 
was  being  threatened  by  plans 
to  sell  off  nurses’  homes. 

Last  week,  Mr  Norman 

Fowler,  Secretary  of  State  for 

Social  Services,  gave  an  un- 
dertaking that  no  nurse  would 
be  made  homeless  by  the  sale 
of  “surplus"  NHS  accommo- 
dation. which  ministers  be- 
lieve could  raise  £1 70  million. 

But  student  nurses  at  foe 
RON'S  annual  congress  in 
Blackpool  said  hundreds  of 
colleagues  had  received  letters 
giving  them  notice  to  quit 
Mr  Trevor  Clay,  RCN  gen- 
eral secretary,  said  foe  college 
would  take  legal  action  if  a 
health  authority  attempted  to 
evict  nurses.  Mr  .Fowler’s 
statement  last  week  that  au- 
thorities should  retain  accom- 
modation “as  needed"  for 
student  nurses  and  other  staff 
in  areas  such  as  inner  dries 
had  confused  officials.  . 

• Doctors  must  warn 
young  girls  seeking  the:  contra- 
ceptive pill  that  they  were 
risking  cervical  cancer,  by 
having  sexual  intercourse  at' 
an  early  age.  Mrs  Rose  Dixon, 
a cancer  nurse  in  WirraL  told 
foe  congress. 


Euro-MPs 

immunity 

opposed 

By  Richard  Evans 
Lobby  Reporter 

A dispute  broke  out  at 
Westminster  last  night  over  a 
House  of  Lords  report  approv- 
ing proposals  to  give  Euro- 
MPs  widespread  immunity 
from  criminal  prosecution. 

The  peers  say  that  members 
of  the  European  Parliament 
should  be  immunefrom  arrest 
or  criminal  prosecution  in 
respect  of  any  acts  except 
cri  mes  .of  violence. 

Mr  Edward  Taylor,  Conser- 
vative MP  for  Southend  East 
and  secretary  of  foe  Conserva- 
tive European  Reform  Group, 
said:  .“This  is  an  outrageous 
proposal  and  I hope  the  Brit- 
ish Government  wifi  reject  it" 
The  only  important  immu- 
nity enjoyed  by  Westminster 
MPs  is  foe  freedom  of  speech 
in  proceedings  in  Parliament 
The  report  comes  after  a 
request  by  members  of  the 
European  Parliament  to  inr 
crease  their  privileges  and 
immunities.  Strong  reserva- 
tions over  the  proposals  have 
been  expressed  by  the  Foreign 
Office,  foe  Home  Office  and 
the  Lord  Chancellor's 
Department 

The  peers  say  foe  European 
Parliament  lacks  the  powers 
possessed  by  Westminster  to 
protect  itself  and  its  members 

r'nst  interference  by  means 
committal 

Bui  they  insist  the  planned 
immunity  should  not  apply  to 
the  arrest  of  a Euro-MP  com- 
mitting, about  to  commit  or 
having  just  committed  an  of- 
fence.

’The"  number  of  prisoners 
serving  short  sentences  who 
have  been  released  -early  on 
.parole  has  increased  more 
than  40-fold  dining  the  past 
four  years,  it  was  disclosed 
yesterday.  - 

Mr  Dkvid  Meltor,  junior 
HOm&  Office  minister,  dis- 
posed that  8s302  prisoners 
sentenced  to  between  a year 
and  23  months  in  jail  were 
granted  parole  in  1985.  com- 
pared to  just  201  in  1982. 

The  largest  increase  was 
between  1983  and  1984  When 
the  figure  increased  from  202 
to  5,743.  That  was  mainly  due 
to  foe  reduction  in  the  mini- 
mum qualifying  period,  for 
parole. 

Mr  Gerald  Benningham, 
Labour  MP  for  St  Helens 
South,  obtained  the  figures  in 
a written  Commons  answer. 

• The  process  of  reviewing 
applications  from  prisoners 
serving  life  sentences  to  be 
released  on  licoice  has  in- 
creased from  six  months  to 
about  10,  in  spite  of  recent 
moves  to  simplify  foe  proce- 
dure. the  Ombudsman  said 
yesterday  (Geoige  Hill  writes). 

He  was  commenting  on  a 
report  on  the  case  of  a prisoner 
who  had  to  wait  more  than  13 
months  to  hear  whether  he 
would  be  released. 

The  Ombudsman  accepts  in 
his  report  that  some  lengthen- 
ing of  the  process  seems 
“almost  inevitable"  without 
staff  increases  or  streamlined 
procedures. 

Third  Report.  Session  1985- 
19S6.  (HC  336.  Stationery  Of- 
fice. £ 7.50.) 

Dispute  in 
prison 
escalates 

Continued  from  page  1 

He  claimed  that  the  break- 
down in  relations  with  the 
Governor  came  about  because 
Mr  Wall  had  masterminded  a 
plan  involving  Assistant  Gov- 
ernors and  other  senior  mem- 
bers of  management  to  take 
control  of  the  main  gate  and 
keys  to  the  prison  and  lock  but 
pnson  officers  late  on  Monday 
night 

He  said  the  day  shift  of  70 
prison  officers  had  been  told 
'.they.' could' not  enter  the 
building  unless  they  agreed  to 
the  Governor’s  terms  and 
signed  “some  sort  of  declara- 
tion of  loyalty" 

The  125-strong  branch  of 
the  POA  at  Gloucester  had 
been  incensed  by  the 
Governor’s  threats,  he  said, 
and  had  passed  a vote  of  no- 
confidence  in  him.  They  now 
wanted  him  removed. 

The  prison  officers  at 
Gloucester  deny  that  their 
protest  is  over  the  amount  of 
money  they  wfll  lose  because 
of  the  new  manning  levels  the 
governor  wants  imposed  to 
meet  Horae  Office  proposals. 

Inside  the  prison,  Mr  Dun- 
bar told  a press  conference 
that  on  Monday  night  the 
governor  bad  taken  steps  “to 
control  foe  rate  of  this  prison 
because  staff  refused  to  accept 
his  lawful  orders".  His  action 
had  been  to  secure  access  to 
and  from  the  prison. 

Mr  Dunbar  told  The  Times 
that  he  was  keen  for  talks 
between  the  Governor  and  the 
prison  officers  to  go  ahead,  but 
first  the  warders  had  to  accept 
foe  governor’s  authority.

Business  stress  is  seen 
as  important  cause  of 
accidents  on  roads 

By  Michael  Bail;,  Transport  Editor 

Stress  among  business  exec-  fleets  rapidly  were  more  likely  preoccupied  or  distracted. 

to  experience  a high  accident 


meeting  in 


utives  is  emerging  as  a serious 
cause  of  road  accidents,  a 
conference  of  the  British  Med- 
ical Association  was  told 
yesterday. 

Harassed  managers  and 
salesmen  drive  faster  than 
they  should  as  they  worry 
about  business  problems,  psy- 
chologists and  insurance  ex- 
perts told  the 
London. 

Employees  of  computer 
companies,  where  competi- 
tion was  fierce,  were  particu- 
larly vulnerable.  On  average  a 
fleet  of  100  cars  in  a computer 
companies  had  100  accidents 
a year,  compared  with  40 
accidents  per  hundred  cars  in 
other  companies. 

Companies  which  made 
rapid  changes  of  personnel  or 
policy,  or  expanded  their 


level,  the  meeting  was  told. 
Drink  was  often  suspected 
as  a contributory  factor,  par- 
ticularly among  top  executives 
who  resort  to  alcohol  when 
cracking-up.  The  executive 
did  not  need  to  be  over  the 
drink  limit  to  lose  road  judge- 
ment; drinks  enjoyed  days 
before  could  make  Uie  driver 
slap-dash  or  slow  to  react 
In  a Department  of  Trans- 
port survey  quoted  at  the 
conference,  most  car  drivers 
involved  in  accidents  were 
executives.  Nearly  one-fifth 
had  alcohol  within  three  hours 
before  the  crash. 

About  9 per  cent  of  car  and 
lorry  drivers  involved  in  acci- 
dents reported  being  anxious, 
depressed  or  confused,  and 
slightly  more  said  they  were 


Hay  fever  victims 
face  poor  summer 


One  cause  identified  by 
analysts  from  Hogg  Robinson, 
the  insurance  brokers,  which 
organized  the  conference,  was 
lack  of  sensitivity  by  manag- 
ers. If  they  implied  superior 
driving  skill  on  their  own  part, 
they  antagonized  their  drivers. 

One  company  suffered  a 
sharp  increase  in  accidents 
when  its  cars  were  replaced  by 
vans,  which  were  not  liked. 
Drivers  could  not  identify 
with  them,  the  conference  was 
assured. 

Another  car  fleet  suffered 
because  the  firm  had  a policy 
of  no  radios,  which  caused 
driver  resentment.  Hogg  Rob- 
inson's risks  management  pro- 
gramme included  sessions  for 
company  drivers  on  race 
tracks. 

But  the  most  important 
aspect,  according  to  Hogg 
Robinson,  was  understanding 
the  drivers'  point  of  view,  and 
helping  him  to  shape  his 
emotions  and  motivations. 


Hay  fever  sufferers  can 
expect  a worse  time  this 
summer  than  they  had  last 
year,  according  to  Dr  Tom 
Smith,  a general  practitioner 
who  has  studied  the  effects  of 
the  allergy  for  five  years. 

Last  year.  Dr  Smith  par- 
sued  his  researches  among 
London  tax!  drivers,  who  had 
to  open  their  windows  fre- 
quently and  travelled  from 
area  to  area.  He  found  that 
there  were  as  many  sufferers 
among  taxi  drivers  as  among 
the  rest  of  the  population.  The 
symptoms  showed  no  sign  of 
abatement  with  age. 

Of  100  drivers  who  are 
victims,  one  quarter . had  to 
give  up  driving  for  a time. 
Those  using  tablets  were  twice 
as  likely  as  those  using  inhal- 


By  Robin  Yonng 

ers  or  injections  to  suffer  from 
symptoms  of  drowsiness. 

Dr  Smith  said  that  the  best 
advice  to  sufferers  was  to  avoid 
going  out  before  11.0am  or 
between  4.0pm  and  7pm.  At 
the  seaside,  however,  pollen 
was  carried  out  to  sea  in  the 
morning  and  came  back  with 
the  sea  breezes  in  the  eve- 
nings. 

Only  the  most  expensive  car 
air-conditioners  would  be 
effective. 

Dr  Smith  said  that  pollen 
counts  were  so  localized  as  to 
be  almost  useless.  Victims 
would  do  better  paying  atten- 
tion to  weather  forecasts,  bear- 
ing in  mind  that  any  simny, 
warm  day  was  likely  to  be  a 
miserable  one  for  them.

University,  a psychologist  ad- 
vising the  Department  of 
Transport  on  safety  research, 
said  the  average  driver  made 
an  error  every  two  miles. 
Psychological  studies  showed 
that  accident  rales  were  largely 
unrelated  to  the  intelligence, 
personality,  or  physical  fit- 
ness. 

Dr  Frank  McKenna,  a 
Reading  University  psycholo- 
gist, said  studies  showed  most 
drivers  considered  themselves 
in  the  top  20  of  safe  drivers. 

Mr  David  Davies,  research 
director  at  Hogg  Robinson, 
said  that  firms'  accident  rates 
could  be  nearly  halved  by 
management  programmes.  In- 
surance brokers  who  had  hith- 
erto seen  themselves  only  as 
negotiators  were  now  looking 
seriously  at  reducing  accident 
rates.

Wife  ‘killed  in  nightmare 


A weeping  husband  yester- 
day relived  at  the  Centra] 
Criminal  Court  a “nightmare” 
of*  fighting  Japanese  soldiers 
which  he  claims  caused  him  to 
strangle  his  wife. 

Colin  Kemp,  aged  34,  a 
father  of  three,  said  that  he 
throttled  his  wife,  Ellen,  aged 
33,  to  death  during  a dream  in 
which  be  was  “strangling  a 


Japanese  soldier”. 

He  said  he  woke  to  find  his 
wife  lying  dead  across  his  left 
arm  and  “panicked”. 

He  told  the  jury  in  tears  that 
he  tried  to  wake  her  and 
slapped  her  face“I  couldn't 
feel  a pulse.  I just  went  barmy. 

“I  had  never  heard  of 
anybody  ever  doing  anything 
violent  in  their  sleep  before.” 


Mr  Kemp,  a sales  represen- 
tative, of  Abbot's  Walk, 
Caterham.  Surrey,  pleads  not 
guilty  to  the  murder  of  his  wife 
on  August  8 last  year. 

Mr  Robin  Simpson,  QC  for 
the  prosecution,  claims  that 
the  story  of  the  dream  is  a lie 
and  that  he  deliberately 
killed  his  wife. 

The  trial  continues  today 


Solicitors 
call  for 
relaxation 
of  rules 

By  Frances  Gibb 
Legal  Affairs!  Correspondent 

Solicitors  would  have  far 
greater  freedom  to  attract 
business,  to  advertise  their 
services  and  acccept  work 
introduced  by  contacts  such  as 
building  societies  under  wide-, 
ranging  reforms  to  their  pro- 
fessional practice  rules 
proposed  yesterday 

The  reforms  are  outlined  in 
a consultation  paper  by  the 
Law  Society’s  contingency 
planning  wonting  party  which 
is  aimed  at  enabling  solicitors 
to  “project  themselves  in  the 
new  competitive  environ- 
ment”. 

Solicitors  should  not  do 
anything  in  obtaining  work 
“which  compromises  or  im- 
pairs. clients’  freedom  oi 
choice,  the  solicitors'  indepen- 
dence, his  duty  to  act  in  the 
best,  interests  of  the  client,  his 
good  repute  or  his  proper 
standard  of  work,”  the  paper 

"ft  t the  continuation  of  the 
profession  as  a strong,  inde- 
pendent legal  profession  de- 
pends on  “economic 
viability”. 

Among  the  proposals  are 
that  touting  should  no  longer 
be  specifically  prohibited  un- 
der the  practice  rules,  al- 
though solicitors  will  still  be 
, expected  to  abide  by  general 
principles  - of . behaviour  that 
would  not  permit  touting. 

The  paper  also  proposes  a 
new  . practice  rule  for  .work  to 
be  introduced  by  institutions 
to  be  recognized  under  tbe 
Building  Societies  Bill  to  em- 
ploy solicitors  to  do  convey- 
ancing. 

On  advertising,  a revision 
of  the  code  is  suggested  so  that 
any  advertising  would  be  al- 
lowed unless  specifically 
prohibited. 

The  proposals  are  being  sent 
to  the.  profession  for  consulta- 
tion and  have  yet  to  go  before 
the  Law  Society's  council.

Stars  to  defy  Equity’s 
South  Africa  ruling 


By  Michael  Horsnell 


A challenge  to  the  left-wing 
domination  of  Equity,  the 
actors'  union,  over  its  ban  on 
performances  in  South  Africa 
was  delivered  yesterday  by  a 
number  of  stars,  led  by  Mr 
Derek  Bond,  the  union's  for- 
mer president. 

A letter  to  Equity  from 
hundreds  of  actors,  including 
Peter  O'Toole,  Dinah  Sheri- 
dan. Barbara  Murray  and 
Dinsdalc  Landen.  rejected  the 
union's  right  to  instruct  mem- 
bers on  a political  issue. 

Mr  Bond  resigned  as  presi- 
dent four  weeks  ago.  with  only 
two  months  of  his  two-year 
term  of  office  to  run.  after  the 
union,  backed  by  a majority  of 
only  3.000  of  its  32.000  mem- 
bership who  voted  on  the 
issue,  decided  on  its  South 
Africa  ban. 

Mr  Bond,  who  is  appearing 
in  The  Amorous  Prawn  in 
Belfast,  told  The  Times:  “This 
is  a statement  to  council  to 
bring  to  its  attention  the 
stupidity  of  issuing  an  instruc- 


tion which  won't  be  obeyed  by 
many  leading  members  of 
Equity. 

“The  union  isn't  our  mas- 
ter, it’s  our  servant  Is  it  going 
to  tell  us  we  mustn't  perform 
in  the  United  States  bemuse  of 
the  Libya  bombing  or  Russia 
because  of  the  Afghanistan 
invasion?  Where  does  it  end? 

“It’s  not  an  argument  about 
apartheid  but  the  right  of  Lhe 
union  to  which  we  have  to 
belong  to  give  us  an  instruc- 
tion of  this  kind.  If  it  stands 
we  shall  disobey  this  instruc- 
tion. We  have  pledged  our- 
selves never  to  play  before 
racially  segregated  audiences 
and  that  is  of  moral  value.” 

No  one  was  available  for 
comment  at  Equity's  London 
headquarters. 

• The  union,  which  has  also 
banned  the  export  of  sound 
and  recorded  material  to 
South  Africa. was  yesterday 
commended  for  its  action  by 
the  United  Nations  special 
committee  against  apartheid. 


Fear  over  hang  gliders 


By  A Staff  Reporter 


Hang  glider  enthusiasts  are 
working  to  reassure  other  air 
users  that  a new  way  of  getting 
airborne  is  safe. 

Hang  glider  pilots  usually 
manhandle  their  wings  to  the 
top  of  a hill  to  soar  from  the 
summit  or  glide  down  again, 
but  it  is  physically  tiring  and 
time-consuming. 

"He  British  Hang  Gliding 
Association  has  developed  a 
system  of  launching  hang 
gjiders  by  tow  wire  and  winch 


and  this  increases  flying  time 
and  opens  the  flattest  country- 
side to  the  sport. 

But  reports  that  some  glid- 
ers have  been  flown  like  a kite 
by  the  winch  crew  to  heights  of 
6,000  feet  have  alarmed  heli- 
copter operators  and  aircraft 
pilots. 

They  arc  unhappy  at  the 
prospect  of  6.000  fret  of 
virtually  invisible  piano  wire 
hanging  in  the  air. 


Honour 
for  Roux 
brothers 

The  brothers  Albert  and 
Michel  Roux,  proprietors  of 
Le  Gavroche  restaurant  in 
Mayfair,  London,  and  the 
Waterside  Inn  at  Bray,  Berk- 
shire. yesterday  joined  the 
most  renowned  chefs  of 
France  as  recipients  of  the 
annual  Personnalite  de 
L’Annfce  awards  presented  by 
an  international  jury  con- 
vened by  Pierre  Sennegon  in 
France. 

Also  honoured,  and  first 
among  English  wine  experts  to 
win  such  an  award  in  the  16 
years  of  their  presentation, 
was  Mr  Michael  Broadbeni. 
Master  of  Wine,  director  of 
the  wine  department  at

Champagne 
by  design 

About  100,000  artist-de- 
signed bottles  of  1981  Tait- 
tinger  champagne  were 
offered  for  sale  in  London 
yesterday  costing  £50  each. 

The  company  decided  sev- 
eral years  ago  to  commisssion 
artists  to  design  both  the 
bottles  and  labels  for  excep- 
tional vintages,  which  would 
be  sold  as  collectors'  items. 
The  1981  vintage  was  de- 
signed by  tbe  French  artist,

Cancer  research  given  £4m  boost 


Cancer  research  at  two  Scot- 
tish centres  is  to  receive  more 
than  £4  motion  it  was  dis- 
closed yesterday. 

The  Leukaemia  Research 
Fond  announced  a grant  of 
£2  million  to  Glasgow 
University’s  veterinary  school 
to  set  up  a research  unit  into 
human  leukaemia  viruses. 

The  Imperial  Cancer  Re* 
search  Fond  said  it  was  also 
going  to  spend  £400,000 a year 
on  research  into  more  effective 
and  less  traumatic  treatment 
of  all  forms  of  cancer  at  the 
clinical  oncology  department 
Of  the  Western  General  Hospi- 
tal in  Edinburgh.  That  was  in 
addition  to  the  £2  million  the 
fond  has  already  pot  into  the 
Edinburgh  research. 


By  Ronald  Faux 

Professor  John  Smyth,  head 
of  tbe  department,  said  trials 
using  high  doses  of  a drag 
combination  to  treat  small  cell 
lung  cancer,  the  fastest  grow- 
ing form  of  the  disease,  had 
increased  the  number  of  suf- 
ferers living  for  two  years  or 
more  from  5 per  cent  to  26  per 
cent 

Small  cell  long  cancer  ac- 
counts for  about  one  third  of 
ail  long  cancer,  95  per  cent  of 
which  is  believed  to  be  caused 
by  smoking.  Professor  Smyth 
said  there  was  an  enormous 
middle  area  in  the  treatment  of 
cancer  w here  a core  couW  not 
necessarily  be  offered  but 
where  more  and  more  effective 
treatment  could  be  offered. 


The  new  tmit  in  Glasgow, 

claimed  lo  be  the  first  of  its 
kind  m the  world,  wfl]  continue 
the  work  carried  out  by  Profes- 
sor William  Jarre tt,  head  of 
the  department  of  veterinary 
pathology  and  his  colleagues. 
Their  research  has  shown  that 
leukaemia  in  cats  is  usually 
associated  with  Infection  by  a 
retro  vims  an  important  cause 
of  anaemia  and  a variety  of 
Aids  (acquired  immune  defi- 
ciency syndrome)  in  cats. 

Studies  in  America  have 
shown  that  the  same  family  of 
viruses  were  the  main  cause  Of 
one  rare  form  of  human 
leukaemia  and  another  virus 
from  the  same  family  was  a 
cause  of  Aids.

brief  statement  on  the  accident 
said  that  a disturbing  feature 
was  the  way  tu  which  knowledge 
of  u had  emerged,  not  from  the 
Soviet  Govern  menu  but  by 
monitoring  in  other  countries. 

He  urged  the  Soviet  Govern- 
ment to  give  a full  account  of 
what  had  happened  and  the 
steps  that  had  been  taken  to 
bring  the  incident  under  control. 
Present  evidence  suggested 
there  was  no  danger  to  the  UK. 
but  the  situation,  would  con- 
tinue to  be  monitored  carefully. 

He  pointed  out  that  they  did 
not  know-  with  any  certainty  the 
precise  nature  ot  the  incident 
but  it  was  clear  that  there  might 
have,  been  significant  casualties. 
Mrs  Thatcher  told  MP$  that 
there  was  a duty  on  countries  to 
report  accidents  through  the 
International  Atomic  Energy 
Agency. 

Reaction  in  the  Commons  to 
the  Soviet  accident  was  first 
raised  bv  Mr  Gerald  Bowden 
( Dulwich.  C)  who  asked:  In  view 
of  the  widespread  alarm  about 
reports  of  leaks  from  the  nuclear 
installation  in  the  So*  ici  Union, 
would  she  reassure  the  House 
and  nation  that  our  own  security 
checks  and  monitoring  system 
would  pretent  such  an  occur- 
rence in  the  UK? 


... ....  circumstances. 

not  in  a position  to  make  an 
assessment  The  British  nuclear 
industry  has  very  High  stan- 
dards. 

•Reacting  later  to  Mr  Baker's 
comments.  Dr  John  Conning- 
ham,  chief  Opposition  spokes- 
man on  the  environment.  — 
whose  Copeland  constituency 
contains  the  SeJlafirld  nuclear 
reprocessing  plant  — suggested 
that  the  Government  should 
make  strong  and  immediate 
representations  to  the  Soviet 
Union  over  the  need  for  the 


Cunningham;  Make 
immediate  representations 


Mrs  Thatcher:  Wc  have  very- 
high  standards  of  safety,  design, 
construction  and  maintenance 
of  nuclear  plants. 

Mr  Tony  Benn  (Chesterfield. 
Labi,  a former  Secretary  of  State 
for  Energy;  .As  this  clearly  is  a 
very  serious  accident  in  the 
Soviet  nuclear  power  station 
and  the  Americans  have  refused 
to  build  a pressure  water  reactor 
for  nine  years  because  of  safety 
anxieties!  will  she  give  an  assur- 
ance that  there  will  be  no 
decision  abou;  building  a PWR 
at  Sizewel!  until  there  has  been  a 
full  report  on  the  Soviet  ac- 
cident and  the  House  has  an 
opportunity  to  take  into  account 
the  very  large  number  of  issues 
raised,  including  the  leaks  at 
Sellafield  and  the  decision  to  sell 
British  plutonium  to  America 
for  their  weapons  programme? 

Mrs  Thatcher:  He  is  in  a 
position  to  know  the  very  high 
standards  of  safety’  »e  exact  in 
the  construction  of  our  nuclear 
plants  and  the  high  standards  of 
our.  nuclear  installations 
inspectorate. 

We  shall  have  to  await  the 
report  of  the  inquiry  into 
Sizewell  before  taking  any 
action. 


Mr  Alex  Fletcher  (Edinburgh 
Central.  C)  said  that  there  had 
been  a callous  and  irresponsible 
failure  by  the  Soviet  Govern- 
ment to  give  the  earliest  possible 
warning  about  the  dangers  of 
nuclear  fall-out.  to  say  nothing 
of  lack  of  advice  to  their  own 
citizens. 


Will  the  Prime  Minister  take 
the  earliest  opportunity;  (he 
asked  Ho  condemn  the  action  of 
the  Soviet  Union  directly  and 
through  the  European  Commu- 
nity and  the  United  Nations? 


Mrs  Thatcher  1 understand  the 
Swedish  and  Finnish  govern- 
ments were  only  informed  after 
radioactive  clouds  had  reached 
their  territory.  There  is  a duty, 
through  the  International 
Atomic  Energy  Agency,  to  re- 
port accidents.  . : . 

Mr  David  Alton  (Liverpool, 


fullest  and  most  urgent  disclo- 
sure of all  information  about  the 
nature  and  scale  of  the  accident. 

Could  Mr  Baker  confirm  that 
a graphite  moderated  reactor  in 
a station  comprising  four  light- 
waicr  reactors,  apparently  with- 
out secondary’  containment,  had 
been  on  fire  for  several  days? 

What  information  was  there 
about  the  nature  of  the  radio- 
active emissions?  Would  the 
British  Government  respond 
positively  to  any  requests  from 
the  Soviet  Union  for  assistance? 
Were  there  any  nuclear  stations 
or  this  type  in  the  UK?  (Conser- 
vative protests). 

Would  any  additional  mon- 
itoring be  required  in  the  United 
Kingdom  and  what  liaison  was 
taking  place  with  other  Euro- 
pean Governments  on  the  na- 
ture of  the  contamination? 

Would  the  Government  join 
with  other  European  Govern- 
ments to  request  international 
inspection  of  the  site  and  con- 
sequences of  the  accident? 

Mr  Baker  said  the  Secretary  of 
State  for  Energy  (Mr  Peter 
Walker)  bad  already  asked  for 
full  details  of  the  accident 

He  could  not  confirm  details 
about  a continuing  fire.  The 
British  Government  had  not 
been  asked  for  assistance,  but  if 
scientific  help  was  requested 
and  the  British  Government 
could  be  heipftil.  such  assistance 
would  be  made  available. 

. There  were  no  such  power 
stations  in  the  United  Kingdom. 
(Labour  cry.  of:  “Vet  yet”). 
Monitoring  by  the  National 
Radiological  Protection  Board 
at  Oxford  and  Glasgow  with 
gamma  monitors  had  found  no 
increase  in  radioactivity  at  the 
moment.  The  Ministry  of  .Agri- 
culture. Fisheries  and  Food 
were  checking  the  position. 

.The  Central  Electricity  Gen- 
erating Board  power  stations 
had  monitoring  equipment  and 
there  was  no  indication  of 
increases  in  radioactivity. 

The  Soviet  Union  was  a 
member  of  the  international 
atomic  authority  and  he  hoped 
it  would  be  able.  through  them, 
to  make  available  information 


about  the  accident,  because  it 
was  valuable  for  the  industry 
worldwide  to  know  as  much  as 
possible. 

Mr  Patrick  Jenkin  (Wansread 
and  Woodford.  O.  former  Sec- 
retary of  State  for  the  Environ- 
ment: Many  of  Dr 

Cunningham's  questions  would 
have  been  better  addressed  to 
the  Soviet  Government. 
/Conservative  cheers) 

Is  there  not  a remarkable 
contrast  between  the  reticence 
of  the  Soviet  authorities  about 
what  is  obviously  an  extremely 
serious  accident,  and  the  open- 
ness of  the  system  in  western 
governments,  most  recently 
exemplified  by  the  statement  of 
the  new  chairman  of  British 
Nuclear  Fuels  Ltd  which  has 
been  so  warmly  welcomed  by 
environmental  interests  in  this 
country?  _ 

Mr  Baker  There  is,  unfortu- 
nately. a striking  contrast  be- 
cause we  have  the  public 
opinion  of  our  people  to  be 
concerned  about  and  it  is  right 
and  proper  we  should  put  our 
cards  on  the  table  and  be  open  as 
we  are  in  ail  these  matters. 

I have  been  speaking  today  to 
representatives  of  our  team  of 
nuclear  inspectors  and  confirm- 
ing with  them  that  in  our 
nuclear  policy  safety  is  ab- 
solutely paramount  Nuclear  en- 
emy must  carry  the  conviction 
ofzhe  people  and  this  can  only 
be  done  with  very  vigorous 
safetv  standards. 

Mr  David  Alton:  The  British 
Council  has  said  there  are  about 
100  students  and  teachers  in  the 
region.  What  efforts  are  being 
made  in  Moscow  and  Leningrad 
to  contact  them  and  ascertain 
their  safety?  , _ 

He  is  criticising  the  lack  of 
information  coming  from  the 
Soviet  Union  but  the  Govern- 
ment is  running  a tight  rein  over 
the  information  it  makes  avail- 
able on  our  own  nuclear  in- 
dustry. Far  loo  much  secrecy 
surrounds  it  in  this  country. 

Mr  Baker:  He  does  his  cause  no 
good  by  exaggerating.  There  is 
openness  and  frankness  in  deal- 
ing with  this.  It  is  one  of  the 
most  regulated  industries  with  a 
vast  number  of  checks  and 
balances. 

Regarding  the  students,  our 
embassy  in  Moscow  is  checking 
on  them.  We  think  there  are 
some  students  in  Minsk  which  is 
about  100  KM  north  of  the 
incident. 

Mr  Tony  Benn:  Before  he  is  too 
ready  to  criticize  the  conceal- 
ment. which  like  him  1 strongly 


regret,  will  he  look  to  see  that 
when 


..hen  there  was  a major  nuclear 
explosion  in  1958  in  the  Soviet 
Union  it  was  monitored  by  the 
CIA  which  notified  the  Atomic 


Energy  Authority  in  Britain  and 
told  the 


WM.  „.em  not  to  make  it  public 
for  fear  it  might  cause  anxiety 
about  nuclear  power.  There  are 
many  other  examples. 

There  is  a growing  number  of 
people  who  believe  the  time  has 
come  to  phase  out  nuclear 


power. 

Mr  Baker 


He  would  be  on 
stronger  ground  if  the  Soviet 
Union  had  told  the  world  about 
this  when  it  occurred  rather  than 
us  learning  about  it  from  mon- 
itoring in  other  countries.  1 
would  strongly  contest  his  view 
that  there  is  less  than  frankness 
in  our  own  industry. 

He  later  said  that  in  Britain 
there  had  been  no  full-scale 
major  incident  in  25  years  in 
operating  civil  power  stations. 

Mr  Richard  Alexander  (New- 
ark, O:  Would  he  give  advice  on 
how  to  deal  with  the  Greenpeace 
protestors  and  other  environ- 
mental groups  no  doubt  at  this 
moment  massing  outside  the 
Soviet  Embassy?  (Laughter). 

Mr  Baker  The  protests  arc 
likely  to  be  much  greater  in 
western  capitals  this  weekend 
than  you  are  ever  going  to  hear 
in  Moscow.

INDUSTRY 


More  could  not  have  tow  done 
by  the  Government  in  the  last 
few  weeks  to  try  » resolve  the 
position  of  the  Cornish  an 
mining  industry,  Mr  Peter  Mor- 
rison, Minister  of  State  for 
Trade  and  Industry,  smd  m 
reply  to  a private  notice  question 
is  the  Commons.  ’ 

Mr  David  PenfwligotrfTniro,  L) 
raised  the  issue  by  asking  fora 
statement  on  the  Government's 
intention  for  the  future  « ®e 
industry. 

Mr  Morrison:  The  Government 
has  made  ft  dear  it  is  wBlmg  » 
consider  applications  for  assis- 
tance towards  the  cost  ot 
projects  which  will  make  the 
arises  competitive  in  a free  tm 
market. 

An  application  from  Ceevor 
Tin  Mines  is  already  being 
considered.  An  application  from 
the  Rio  Time  Zinc  Group  to 
expected  shortly  . Both  wiD -be 
assessed  as  rapidly  as  possible 
Mr  David  Harris  (St  Ives,  O 
qaM  there  was  a desperate 
situation  at  Geevor  where  it  was 
likely  the  pomps  were  about  to 
be  switched  off.  if  that  happened 
the  mine  would  be  flooded  new 
to  reopen.  Could  not  the  Govern- 
ment provide  assistance  to  keep 
the  pomps  going  at  least  untfl 
the  application  by  the  mine  had 
been  decided? 

Mr  Morrison  said  the  Govern- 
ment accepted  the  need  to  move 
as  fast  as  possible  and  on  that 
would  depend  whether  or  not 
there  could  be  care  and  mainte- 
nance work.  ■ 

Mr  Stanlev  Cnnrther  (Roth- 
erham, Lab)  said  it  would  be

disgrace fhl  if  a British  industry 
which  contributed  many  millions 


of  pounds  a year  to  the  economy 
were  allowed  to  die  for  lack  of 
help  from  the  Government. 

Mr  Morrison  said  the  Govern- 
ment was  looking  carefully  at 
the  applications  to  see  whether 
they  could  meet  the  test  of 
viability.  More  care  could  not  be 
taken. 

Mr  Robin  Maxwell-Hyslop 
(Tiverton.  O said  the  problem  of 
the  test  of  viability  was  that  it 
depended  on  tbe  movement  of 
world  prices  of  tin  maybe  four  or 
five  years  ahead  and  that  figure 
could  not  be  predicted.  Would  it 
not  be  sensible  for  the  Govern- 
ment to  take  a risk  to  support 
employment  rather  than  suffer- 
ing unemployment? 

Mr  Morrison  said  that  if  there 
was  to  be  in  vestment  in  any  of 
the  mines  in  Cornwall  it  most  be 
aimed  at  reducing"  the  cost  of 
production. 


• During  question  time -in  die 
House  of  Lords  Lard  Lucas  of 
Chiltrorth,  Under  Secretary’  of 
State  for  Trade  and  Industry, 
said  assistance  would  be 
commensurate  with  future  op- 
erations being  viable.  It  was  not 
the  Government's  policy  to  pro- 
vide operating  subsidies. 


A circular  win  be  issued  tomor- 
row (Wednesday)  to  the  courts 
containing  advice  on  the  im- 
plications for  them  of  the  dis- 
pute with  the  Prison  Officers’ 
Association.  Mr  Douglas  Hard, 
tbe  Horne  Secretary,  announced 
in  a statement  in  tbe  Commons. 
I will  consider  (he  added)  any. 
further  measures  which,  may  be 
necessary. 

He  made -a  further  appeal  to 
prison  officers  to  look  at  tbe 
partage  of  proposals  he.  bad 
placed  before  them  and  to  judge 
whether  it  was  worth  throwing 
that  away  by  taking  further 
industrial  action.  The  Govern- 
ment, he  said,  could  not  conduct 
talks  under  such  a continuing 
threat  m this  vital  public 
service. 

Tbe  sort  of  industrial  action 
already  seen  at  Gloucester 
Prison  was  unacceptable.  Tbe 
Government  would  take  all 
posable  steps  to  sustain  the 
right  of  governors  to  manage 
their  , prisons  and  to  protect 
prisoners  and  public  from  tbe 
consequences  of  POA  action. 
Prison  officers  deserved  to  be 


ing  the  militant  action  that  has 
token  place, ! ask  him  to  bear  in 
mind  the  prison  officers  in 
Gloucester  have  been  under 
considerable  pressure  as  a result, 
among  other  things,  of  the 
presence  of  a special  unit  in  the 
prison.  At  least  one  prisoner  is 


not  io  use  that  “sS 


Suffering  from  Aids. 
They  bav 


_ive  a long  history  of 

fine  service,  of  non-militancy, _ 
and  I hope  he  will  bear  this  in 
mind  when  discussions  resume. 
Will  he  give  an  undertaking  he 
will  take  whatever  steps  nec- 
essary Jf  things  g?i  out  of  hand  to 
protect  the  - citizens  of 
Gloucester?  ■ _ 

Mr  Him!:  Yes.  1 do  not  believe 
there  is  any  threat  to  the  security 
of  Gloucester  prison.  Not  only 


well  paid,  but  the  heav^burdCT 


of  overtime  must-be  

and  there  must  be  increased 
efficiency.  Progress  towards  for- 
mal discussions  about  a range  of 
new  systems  designed  to  meet 
all  these  objectives  was  being 
made  when  the  call  for  indus- 
trial action  went  out. 

Mr  Gerald  Kaufman,  chief 
Opposition  spokesman  on 
home  affairs,  said  prison  officers 
carried  out  a duly  and  dan- 
gerous job  in  increasingly  diffi- 
cult conditions  caused,  by  the 
collapse  of.  tbe  Government’s 
law  and  order  policy  and  by  the 
record  crime  wave  which  bad 
produced  a huge  increase  in  the 
prison  population  and  unprece- 
dented overcrowding. 

Why  not  agree  that  there  was 
a proper  and  sensible  role  for 
prison  officers  in  deciding  safe 
manning  levels,  particularly 
since  the  POA  had  offered  to 
instruct  its  members  to  take  no 
further  action  while  talks  were 
going  on?  It  was  a sensible  way 
to  solve  these  difficulties. 

Mr  Hard  said  the  neglect  the 
prison  service  was  suffering  was 
the  neglect  of  previous  govern- 
ments to  do  anything  about 
prison  conditions.  The  Govern- 
ment had  staffed  over  and 
above  the  increase  in  prison 
population. 

We  were  (he  continued)  very 
near  agreement  last  week.  We 
wrote  on  what  he  is  talking 
about  - the  role  of  the  POA  in 
being  consulted  about  manning 
levels.  I wrote  them  a letter  and 
they  wrote  back  indicating  this 
was  very  near  to  what  they  bad 
in  mind. 

Then  (he  went  on)  industrial

Stanbrook:  No  strike 
agreement  needed 


in  Gloucester,  but  elsewhere, 
what  she  has  said  is  true.  No  one 
has  been  dismissed  as  a result  of 
these  activies.  If  the  POA  agree 
to  work  normally  under,  the 
instructions  of  management, 
thev  win  be  reinstated. 

Mr  Stephen  Ross  (Isle  of  Wight.

Mr  Hard:  We  have  been  recruit- 
ing prison  officers  substantially 
faster  than  the  rise  in  numbers 
in  prisons. 

I do  not  believe  we  are  using 
these  prison  officers  correctly.  1 
am  sure  that  are  all  kinds  of 
rigidities  and  restrictive  prac- 
tices which  discussions  with  rhe 
POA  may  resolve  and  this 
would  increase  resources  avail- 
able for  all  kinds  of  purposed  in 
the  prison  service.  This  is  what  I 
want  to  get  on  with  but  I cannot 
do  h in  yesterday’s  circum- 
stances. when  in  theory  action 
was  suspended  but  in  practice  it 
was  raging. 

Mr  Peter  Bnunrels  (Leicester

tion there  will  be  no  surrender 
and  the  courts  will  not  be 
deterred  from  giving  custodial

Mr  Hurd  agreed  that  stopping

roots  way  back. 

It  took  a lot  of  money  and 
time  to  put  that  right,  but  these

that  - included  tntesral

Eighteenth-century  Chinese 
porcelain  recovered  from  the 
sea-bed  is  fetching  from  five  to 
10  times  the  going  market 
price  for  similar  pieces  that 
have  survived,  on  diy  land 

And  gold  bars  that  had  been 
on  the  sea-bed  for  233  yeare 
regularly-  doubled  the  bullion 
pricerthe  first  and  finest  of  the 
Chinese  gold  “shoes”  bars 
shaped  I tire  oval  cups,  secured 
£51,894,  or  roughly  19  times 
its  bullion  value. 

By  yesterday  morning  the 
proceeds  of  the  Amsterdam 
sale  had  lopped  the  £3  million 
forecast  for  the  whole  week. 

Christie’s  auction  of  the 
cargo  of  the  Geldermalsen.  a 
Dutch  East-Indiaman  that 
sank  in  the  South  China  Sea  in

yesterday  with  no  let-up  in  the 
scramble  to  secure  souvenirs 
of  the  hisioric  cargo.  . 

Bidders  have"  arrived  from 
Australia.  Hong  Kong.  Cana- 
da. North  and  South  America 
and  South  Africa,  where  the 
Geldermalsen  was  due  to  dock 
with  a special  cargo  of  inferior 
porcelain,  as  well  as  every’ 
country  in  Europe. 

The  team  that  raised  the 
cargo  and  who  will  share  the 
proceeds  packed  the  front  row 


born  surveyor,  Max  de  Rham. 
and  Soo  Hin  Ong.  of  Singa-

about  70  per  cenL- 
Sharing  the  front  row  are  ax 
of  the  10  divers,  a mix  of 
Malay  and  European,  who 
worked  for  no  wages  against  a 
20  per  cent  share  of  the 
proceeds.  Prices  vary  accord-

Teachers’  pay  dispute 
boosted  enrolment 
at  independent  schools 


* 


Pupil  numbers  at  indepen- 
dent schools  have  shown  their 
biggest  increase  for  five  years, 
at  a time  when  slate  schools 
were  experiencing  the  turmoil 
of  the  teachers'  pay  dispute. 

The  growth  last  year  — in 
the  face  of  a 9 per  cent  increase 
in  fees  — was  yesterday  attrib- 
uted partly  to  the  disruption 
caused  by  industrial  action. 

Mr  David  Hart,  general 
secretary  of  the  National  As-

pils  in  the  past  year,  a rise  of 
1-2  per  cent,  compared  with  a 
0.6  per  cent  rise  in  the 
previous  year  and  a 0.2S  per 
cent  increase  in  1984. 

There  are  now  419,475  pu- 
pils in  the  L300  Isis  schools, 
compared  with  414,562  in 
January  last  year,  the  biggest 
increase  since  198L  But  the 
total  number  being  educated 
privately  is  estimated 


„ is  estimated  at 

sfwiaffAri  nf  H^' 7 — : ,w"  550,000  children,  or  6.5  per 
sociauonofHead  Teachers,  cent  of  all  pupils. 

± JL3iVnk  lh*1  parents  are  The  increase  is  against  the 
now  dearly  voiing  wrth  their  background  of  a fall  in  the 


feet  not  only  because  of  the 
ravages  caused  by  the 
teachers'  dispute,  but  aio? 
because  parents  can  see  very 
clearly  the  difference  between 
the  resourced  independent 
sector  and  the  inadequately 
funded  slate  sector” 

Mr  David  Wood  head,  di- 
rector of  the  Independent 
Schools  Information  Service 
(Isis),  which  carried  out  the 
census  into  independent 
school  numbers,  said-  “How 
much  of  it  is  attributable  to 
the  disruption  elsewhere  no 
one  can  say  with  any  certainty. 

“Many  staff  and  parents  in 
independent  schools  have 
shared  the  anxieties  of  their 
colleagues  and  friends  in  the 
maintained  sector  during  a 
year  of  unprecedented 
turmoil.” 

The  Ins  figures  show  an 
increase  of  almost  5,000  pu- 


totaJ  secondary  school  popula- 
tion of  3. 7 percenL 

The  number  of  girls  at 
independent  schools  has  risen 
for  the  second  year  running; 
they  now  form  44  per  cent  of 
the  independent  school  popu- 
lation. But  the  number  of  boy 
boarders  dropped  by  23  per 
cent,  reflecting  parents'  desire 
to  see  more  of  their  children 
by  educating  them  at  day 
schools. 

Another  area  of  growth  was 
pre-preparatory  schools  for 
pupils  aged  two  to  seven, 
whine  numbers  rose  by  5 per 
cent. 

Fees  ranged  from  £950  to 
£2.200  a term  for  boy  boarders 
and  from  £1,000  to  £1,700  for 
girls.  Day  boys’  fees  varied 
from  £360  to  £1,500  and  day 
girls'  from  £500  to  £1,150. 

Almost  20  per  cent  more 
children  received  help  with 


fees  in  this  year's  census.  The 
money  came  from  the  schools 
themselves,  local  education 
authorities  and  the 
Government's  assisted  places 
scheme. 

Head  teachers  said  yester- 
day that  pan  of  the  increase  in 
fees  was  attributable  to  die  pay 
rise  paid  to  their  teachers, 
which  was  higher  in  some 
cases  than  the  6.9  per  cent, 
rising  to  8.5  per  cent  paid  to 
those  in  the  state  sector. 

Mr  Christo  per  Everett, 
headmaster  of  Tonbridge 
School  where  teachers  re- 
ceived a 10  per  cent  increase 
last  year,  said:  “Parents  recog- 
nize that,  given  the  compe- 
tence and  professionalism  of 
teachers  in  independent 
schools,  they  receive  their 
services  for  a very  reasonable 
amount 

“All  our  parents  understand 
fully  that  teachers  in  our 
schools  must  be  paid 
properly.” 

Last  year  independent 
schools  spent  £3.7  million  on 
new  buildings  and  equipment 
and  another  £43  million  on 
improvements  to  existing 
buildings  and  equipment 

Mr  Woodhead  said:  “Our 
census  confirms  the  trend  to 
independent  schools  — but 
also  the  widening  gap  in 
resources  between  the  inde- 
pendent and  maintained  sec- 
tors. 


'-.A 


f 90m  refit  for  Invincible 


HMS  Invincible  sailed  into 
Devonport  yesterday  for  a £90 
million  rent  which  will  take 
her  into  the  21st  century. 

The  27-month  refit,  -which 
at  its  peak  will  provide  work 
for  600  men,  includes  increas- 
ing the  Sea  Harrier  fighter 
strength  from  six  to  eight  or 
nine  and  doubling  the  number 
of  Sea  ICing  helicopters  to  12. 

A 12-degree  ramp  will  be 
fined  to  improve  take-off  and 


the  20,000-ton  carrier  wifi 
.become  the  first  Royal  Navy 
ship  to  have  the  new  Dutch- 
made  “Goalkeeper”  close- 
range  weapons  system  of 
rapid-firing  guns  capable  of 
3.000  rounds  a minute. 

New  sonar  and  medium- 
range  air  and  surface  warning 
radar  will  also  be  fitted. 

The  refit  will  mean  consid- 
erable improvement  to  the 
accommodation  for  the  ship's 


company,  which  will  be  in- 
creased by  250  to  about  1,400. 

Details  of  the  project  were 
given  at  a press  conference  on 
board  after  Invincible’s  arrival 
from  Portsmouth  and  duties 
in  the  West  Indies. 

Mr  Robin  Austin,  the 
project  manager,  said  he 
hoped  to  beat  the  27-month 
scheduled  time  for  the  refit 
and  added:  “I  have  set  a target 
some  weeks  shorter  than  that 
period.” 


Fear  of  job 
losses  cuts 
incidence 
of  strikes 

The  number  of  private  sec- 
tor strikes  last  year  was  the 
lowest  since  the  mid-  1930s. 
largely  because  of  the  fear  of 
unemployment,  according  to 
the  annual  report  of  the 
conciliation  service.  Acas, 
which  was  published  yester- 
day. 

There  were  still  many  prob- 
lems in  the  public  sector,  but 
the  state  of  the  economy  dom- 
inated the  background  to  in- 
dustrial relations  in  1985.  the 
report  states.  It  gives  a warn- 
ing that  the  reduction  in 
strikes  tells  only  a limited 
story. 

“It  says  nothing  about  the 
effectiveness  of  people  at 
work,  the  satisfaction  they  get 
from  their  jobs,  the  extent  to 
which  business  objectives  faD 
short  of  achievement  because 
of  other  industrial  relations 
reasons  or  any  underlying 
sense  of  employee  alienation 
or  discontent,”  the  reportsays. 
One  of  the  main  changes 
during  1985  was  the  greater 
flexibility  sought  by  manage- 
ment in  its  labour  force  be- 
cause of  new  technology,  in- 
tense overseas  competition 
and  economic  pressure. 

This  was  seen  in  greater 
flexibility  between  crafts  and 
skills,  in  woriring  hours,  work 
methods,  use  of  part-time 
workers  and  the  relationship 
between  pay  and  perform- 
ance. 

Evidence  is  growing  that 
managements  are  deliberately 
separating  “permanent" 
workers,  who  enjoy  almost  in- 
definite employment  and  fav- 
ourable terms  and  conditions, 
from  “peripheral"  workers 
such  as  those  who  are  tempo- 
rary, selfemployed  and  sub- 
contracted, Acas  says. 

The  report  praises  improve- 
ments in  management  style 
and  attitudes.  “In  many  areas 
1985  saw  a slow  but  welcome 
recognition  that  the  solution 
of  industrial  relations  prob- 
lems should  owe  more  to 
proper  planning  and  less  to  ad 
hoc  and  ill-considered  ac- 
tions.” it  says.

training  expedition 


Up  to  120  young  people 
from  some  of  Britain's  most 
deprived  inner  “urban 
jangles”  will  be  recruited  to 
join  the  round-the-world  Op- 
eration Raleigh  expeditions 
led  by  Colonel  John 
Blashford-SoelL 

Mr  Kenneth  Baker,  Secre- 
tary of  State  for  the  Environ- 
ment, said  yesterday 
thatftnes)  the  recruits,  many  of 
whom  have  never  left 
Merseyside.  Hull  and  London 
before,  will  be  sponsored 
through  a £300.000  govern- 
ment urban  programme. 

They  will  be  led  through  a 


lough  selection  and  training 
programme  later  this  year  by 
seasoned  adventurers  from 
previous  Operation  Raleigh 
expeditions,  including  six 
young  people  who  recently 
returned  from  the  real  jungles 
and  swamps  of  Central  and 
South  America. 

Colonel  Blashford-Snell 
said:  “Britain  abounds  with 
great  young  leaders.  But  I 
think  the  urban  jmigie  today  is 
far  more  difficult  to  deal  with 
than  the  real  jungle.” 

Recruitment  will  be  com- 
pleted in  July  and  the  opera- 
tion will  start  next  year. 


The  use  of  ‘living  cells  to 
produce  substances  with  me- 
dicinal properties  and  the 
complex  molecules  made  syn- 
thetically by  the  chemicals 
industry  are  the  basis  i? 
modem  biotechnology-  Pearce 
Wright,  Science  Editor,  re- 
ports od  this  source  of 
tomorrow's  drags. 

By  the  end  of  the  decade 
doctors,  farmers,  industrial 
manufacturers  and  house- 
wives will  be  using  new  prod- 
ucts that  rely  on  two  of  the 
main  developments  in  genetic 
engineering:  recombinani- 

DNA  and  monoclonal  anti- 
bodies. 

The  first  describes  how 
genes  arc  taken  from  one 
animal,  organism  or  plant  and 
spliced  into  another.  The  sec- 
ond refers  to  a method  of 
producing  tailor-made  cells, 
designed  for  use  as  the  active 
ingredient  in  drugs  and 
vaccines. 

The  new  genetics  have  al- 
ready become  established  in 
solving  some  medical  prob- 
lems. For  example,  without 
these  advances  insulin  for 
diabetics  could  be  in  short 
supply  by  the  end  of  this 
decade. 

The  use  of  simple  bacteria 
to  synthesize  elaborate  protein 
molecules,  such  as  insulin,  is 
being  used  or  under  develop- 
ment for  a range  of  substances. 

In  particular,  the  vocabu- 
lary of  scientists  in  this  field 
contains  increasing  reference 
to  iymphokmes.  It  is  a term 
which  covers  an  immense 
family  of  molecules  which  the 
body's  defence  system  makes, 
but  "which  until  the  advent  of 
genetic  engineering  could  not 
be  synthesized. 

Lymphokines  that  have  re- 
ceived some  public  attention 
are  two  families  of  molecules 
with  potential  ami-cancer  ac- 
tivity. They  are  the  interferons 
and  (he  interleukins. 

Other  natural  substances 
being  made  include  Factor 
VIII,  the  substance  in  the 
blood  that  stimulates  cloning 
of  blood  and  is  absent  in 


haemophilia,  and  plasmino- 
gen activator  which  can  avert 
other  blood  disorders. 

This  year  tests  have  started 
on  experimental  vaccines 
against  malaria.  The  advances 
in  genetic  engineering  behind 
those  discoveries  should  pro- 
vide the  eventual  vaccines  for 
some  cancers  and  for  Ards 
(acquired  immune  deficiency 
syndrome). 

Many  other  vaccines  are  in 
the  pipe-line  for  hepalilis-B. 
herpes,  diphtheria,  poliovirus 
and  salmonella.  A longer-term 
search  is  on  for  an  answer  to 
arthritis  through  genetic 
engineering.  . , 

The  ability’  to  manipulate 
the  genetic  composition  of 
cells  for  commercial  purposes 
has  brought  a new  breed  of 
science-based  companies  into 
being. 

The  first  of  the  British 
newcomers  in  this  field  is 
Celltech  laboratories,  which 
has  specialized  in  innovations 
in  genetics  to  get  more  effec- 
tive diagnosis  of  various 
illnesses. 

Through  new  collaboration 
with  the  Imperial  Cancer  Re- 
search Fund,  the  scientists  at 
Celltech  have  made  an  impor- 
tant advance  in  designing 
families  of  drugs  that  will 
attack  tumours,  without 
harming  other  tissues  in  the 
body. 

The  latest  approach  is  to 
employ  the  technique  of  mak- 
ing monoclonal  antibodies,  or

Russians  claim  heart 
monitor  innovation 

By  a Special  Correspondent 


A British  invention,  dating 
from  the  early  1960s,  has 
enabled  Soviet  scientists  to 
develop  a heart  movement 
• recorder  which,  it  is  claimed, 
diagnoses  cardiac  abnormali- 
ties earlier  than  possible  at 
present 

The  magnetic  cardiograph, 
conceived  by  a group  of  re- 
searchers at  the  Kharkov  In- 
stitute of  Cardiology  and  the 
physical  engineering  institute 
of  low  temperatures  of  the 
VtUkranian  Academy  of  Sci- 
ences, measures  magnetic 
fields  in  the  heart,  providing 
important  data  not  obtainable 
from  standard  electrocardio- 
gram tests. 

It  is  based  on  the  Josephson 
effect  a Nobel  prize-winning 
discovery  by  Brian  Josephson, 
now  a professor  of  physics  at 
Cambridge  University. 

Working  at  the  Cavendish 
Laboratory  in  3962,  he  de- 
signed an  extremely  sensitive 
cryogenic  electronic  device  to 
measure  magnetic  fields.  Now 
known  as  the  Josephson  junc- 
tion, it  consists  of  two  strips  of 
metal,  placed  in  liquid  helium. 

Cooled  to  a temperature 
near  absolute  zero  and  sepa- 
rated by  a thin  insulator,  the 
strips  become  a “sandwich” 
which  is  extremely  sensitive  to 
changes  in  magnetic  field. 


Equipment  based  on  Profes- 
sor Josephson ’s  discovery  has 
been  applied  to  detect  oO,  date' 
ancient  pottery  and  identify 
sub-atomic  particles. 

Experimental  computer  cir- 
cuits based  on  the  Josephson 
junction  have  been  designed  by 
IBM.  Japanese  scientists  plan 
to  employ  the  Josephson  junc- 
tion as  fast  switches  in  com- 
puters, although  these  are 
unlikely  to  arrive  before  the 
end  of  the  century. 

• The  Soviet  researchers] 
claim  a unique  magneto-diag-| 
oostic  cardiograph  can  ideuti 
fy  magnetic  signals  sent  by  the 
beaut,  especially  the  stimula-l 
tion  and  contraction  of  cardiac| 
muscles. 

Another  advantage  is  that  a 
patient  need  not  be  wired  up, 
only  to  be  within  range  of  the 
equipment.  The  electrical  po- 
tentials generated  by  the  areas 
where  ECG  electrodes  are  in 
contact  with  the  skin,  can 
obliterate  signals  of  abnormal- 
ities. The  cryogenic  magne- 
tometer can  identify  the  bit- 
magnetic  signals  coming  from 
the  possible  source  of  a i — 
defect. 

The  Soviet  scientists  believel 
the  equipment  and  techniques j 
developed  by  them  could  also] 
be  used  feu  the  study  of  the 
brain-

' ~ waste  that  has  built  up  in  the 


atomic  power  stations,  just  a

generated  when  atoms  of  ura- 
nium were  split  to  boil  water, 
which  in  turn  produced  steam 
to  turn  electrical  turbines. 

However,  there  are  at  least 
six  main  types  of  thermal 
nuclear  reactors,  of  very  dif- 
ferent design,  affecting  their 
safety  characteristics. 

The  type  which  has  explod- 
ed is  used  rml^inihe  Soviet-

from  the  version  of  the  same 
family  that  the  Russians

US  offers 
technical 
assistance 

From  Mohsin  Ali 
Washington 

The  US  yesterdav  formally 
told  the  Soviet  Union  it  is 
ready  to  give  humanitarian 
and  technical  assistance  fol- 
lowing the  accident  at  the 
Chernobyl  atomic  energy 
station.  * 

Mrs  Rozanne  Ridgway.  As- 
sistant Secretary  for  European 
Affairs,  summoned  Mr  Oleg 
Sokolov,  the  Soviet  Charge 
d'Affaires  here,  to  express 
"deep  rearer  at  the  accident 
on  behalf  af  President  Reagan, 
the  State  Department  spokes- 
man announced. 

He  said  the  US  hoped  ihe 
Soviet  Union  would  provide 
information  about  the  acci- 
dent in  “a  timely  manner”. 
The  US  was  seeking  addition- 
al information  and  requested 
the  closest  possible  coordina- 
tion among  all  concerned 
countries. 

The  spokesman  said:  “We 
hope  casualties  and  material 
damage  are  minimal.”  but  he 
could  give  no  details. 

He  declined  to  answer  when 
asked  whether  US  “spy 
satellites”  had  detected  the 
accident  and  other  activities 
related  to  iL  ' 

Mr  Donald  Regan,  the 
White  House  Chiet  of  Staff, 
said  while  travelling  with 
President  Reagan  to  Bali  that 
the  Administration  had  no 
details  on  possible  loss  oflife. 
-.All  I can  say  is  we  arc 
monitoring  it  jhc  same  as 
everybody  else.” 

Offering  US  help  to  the 
Russians,  fie  said:  “We  have  a 
lot  of  experience  in  bow  w e 
can  handle  these  things  both 
medically  and  scientifically  “ 
Mr  Larry  Speakes.  the 
White  House  spokesman,  said 
later  that  President  Reagan 
had  been  briefed  on  the  acci- 
dent by  Mr  George  Shultz,  the 
Secretary  of  State,  and  by 
Admiral  John  Poindexter,  his 
National  Security  Adviser. 
The  Russians  have  not  inde- 
pendently notified  the  White 
House  through  diplomatic 
channels.  . 

The  accident  has  aroused 
intense  speculation  and  inter- 
est here  and  has  refuelled  the 
controversy  over  safeguards 
for  American  nuclear  energy  . 

France  ready 
to  help 
treat  victims 

Paris  (UPI)  - France  yester- 
dav offered  to  help  the  Soviet 
Union  treat  those  contaminat- 
ed by  radiation  from  the 
nuclear  power  plant  disaster. 

M Francois  Cogne.  director 
of  the  Institute  of  Protection 
and  Nuclear  Safety  of  the 
Atomic  Energy  Commission, 
said  Moscow  had  not  asked 
France  to  help  in  what  was 
believed  to  have  been  either  a 
fire  at  the  four-reactor  plant  or 
a reactor  meltdown. 

M Cogne  said  France  had 
been  treating  victims  of  nucle- 
ar accidents  since  Ivds. 


a graphite-moderated  light- 
water  reactor.  It  boils  water, 
which  is  carried  through  a core 
of  uranium  fuel. 

The  core  also  includes  rods 
of  graphite,  which  are  used  to 
control  the  nuclear  reactions, 
because  the  graphite  slows 
down  neutrons. 

Another  choice  is  to  use 
water  as  a moderator,  as  in  the 
American  type  of  pressurized- 
water  reactors. 

The  other  choice  is  in  the 
way  ihe  heat  is  removed  to  the 


ing  makes  the  Russian  type 
different  from  any  other, 
choice  of  design  in  the  com- 
mercial electricity  generating 
field. 

It  is  not  clear  why  the 
reactor  should  have  over- 
heated and  caught  fire.  A 
rupture  of  the  water  supply 
system  would  cause  a sudden 
rise  in  the  temperature  of  the 
core.  But  the  presence  of 
graphite  should  have  given  the 
operators  some  time  to  regain 
control  when  getting  an  emer- 


fuel.  amounting  to  a total  of  10 
billion  curies  of  radioactivity. 
It  is  vital  that  these  gases 
should  not  be  allowed  to 
escape. 

In  the  American  type  of 
water  reactors  a system  of 
double-walled  buildings  act  to 
contain  the  release.  This  kept 
the  worst  nightmare  from 
happen ning  at  the  Three  Mile 


distance  of  10  miles  down 
wind  is  estimated  at  more 
than  40,000  rems,  and  1,200 
rents  at  about  1 50  miles. 

There  is  a high  probability 
of  a person  very  quickly 
suffering  thyroid  cancer  from 
a dose  of  1 .000  rems. 

In  the  early  1950s  the  UK 
Atomic  Energy  Authority  re- 
jected the  Russian  reactor

may  develop  hereditary  dis-

The  immediate  effects  on 
those  who  survived  the  explo- 
sion and  fire  are  likely  to 
involve  the  destruction  of 
bone  marrow  through  irradia- 
tion. which  in  turn  destroys 
the  individual's  immune  sys-

die  within  the  next  60  days. 

Pregnant  women  could  give

Bonn  puts 
scientists 
on  standby 

From  Frank  Johnson 
Bonn 

West  Germany  yesterday 
offered  to  place  experts  and 
equipment  from  its  highly 
advanced  nuclear  power  in- 
dustry at  the  disposal  of  the 
Soviet  Union,  but  officials 
said  here  that  such  help  can 
only  be  deployed  effectively  if 
ihe  Soviet  Union  gives  more 
details  of  the  accident. 

The  first  visit  to  the  Foreign 
Office  here  of  Mr  Yuli 
Kvitsinksy.  the  new  Soviet 
Ambassador,  was  brought  for- 
ward to  yesterday  so  that  the 
accident  could  be’  discussed. 

He  accepted  the  offer  of 
West  German  help,  but  appar- 
ently he  was  unable  to  give  the 
sort'  of  details  which  would 
enable  the  West  Germans  to 
decide  what  sort  of  accident  it 
was.  and  what  kind  of  assis- 
tance was  needed. 

It  was  thought  possible  that 
Mr  Kvitsinksy  had  not  him- 
self been  fully  informed. 

The  Minister  of  the  Interior, 
Herr  Friedorich  Zimmerman, 
called  the  Soviet  delay  in 
reporting  the  accident,  and  the 
subsequent  lack  of  detail, 
“unacceptable”.  He  gave  as- 
surances that  West  German 
government  scientists  would 
be  carrying  out  tests  through- 
out the  days  ahead  on  radia- 
tion levels  here. 

The  Government's  view, 
for  the  time  being,  is  that, 
portly  because  of  the  winds, 
Germany  is  not  in  danger. 

The  Minister  of  Science. 
Herr  Heinz  Ricsenhuber.  said 
that  West  German  reactors 
were  more  advanced  than 
those  in  the  SovietUmon  and 
“absolutely  secure”. 

He  said  that  the  Interna- 
tional Atomic  Energy:  Agency 
in  Vienna  should  now  conduct 
a test  of  Soviet  reactor 
standards. 


World  agency  warns  of  return  to  oil 


Paris  (Reuter)  — Industrial- 
ized nations  must  carry  on 
generating  nuclear  power  in 
order  to  safeguard  their  inde- 
pendence in  energy  production. 
Miss  Hdga  Steeg.  the  Interna- 
tional Energy  Agency  (1EA) 
director,  said  yesterday. 

Miss  Sieeg  was  speaking  in 
Paris,  where  the  21 -nation 
agency,  which  co-ordinates  en- 
ergy policy  to  uy  to  ensure 
supplies,  has  its  headquarters. 

She  said  she  had  no  new 
information  on  the  Ukraine 
accident. 

She  said  the  1EA  member 
countries  “cannot  forego  the 
possibility  of  nuclear  power 
generation".  Otherwise  they 
would  slip  back  into  depen- 
dence on  oil  supplies  from  the 
Organization  of  Petroleum  Ex- 
porting Countries  (OPEC). 

She  added  that  the  govern- 
ments of  Western  industrial- 
ized countries  worked  closely 
together  on  nuclear  safety  stan- 


dards. “Operating  safety  is  no 
problem  here."  she  said. 

Asked  whether  there  was  a 
danger  of  1EA  members  be- 
coming too  dependent  on  Sovi- 
et natural  gas  supplies  if 
competitive  oil  prices  delayed 
or  prevented  the  development 
of  new  gas  fields.  Miss  Steeg 
said  it  was  agency  policy  not  to 
be  overdependent  on  any  one 
supplier. 

“Gas  supplies  of  European 
countries  up  to  the  middle  of 
the  1990s  are  already  broadly 
secured  bv  contracts  with  the 
Soviet  Union,  the  Dutch.  Nor- 
way and.  to  a lesser  extent  the 
Algerians.”  she  said. 

She  said  negotiations  were 
continuing  over  the  develop- 
ment of  Norway's  giant  Troll 
gas  field  in  the  North  Sea. 

• BONN:  West  Germany's 
anti-nuclear  Greens  party 
called  for  the  closure  of  all 
nudear  power  stations,  saying 
the  Soviet  disaster  had  shown 


atomic  power  was  too'  danger- 
ous to  be  used. 

The  Greens  are  spearheading 
protests  against  construction  of 
West  Germany's  first  nuclear 
reprocessing  plant  in 
Wackersdorf,  Bavaria,  and 
news  of  the  Soviet  accident 
appeared  certain  to  fuel  opposi- 
tion to  the  project 

The  party  is  the  only  one  in 
West  Germany  to  oppose  out- 
right the  use  of  nudear  power. 
• MANILA:  President  Aquino 
will  convene  her  Cabinet  today 
to  rule  on  a proposal  to  scrap 
the  Philippines*  first  nudear 
power  plant,  her  spokesman, 
Mr  Rene  Saguisag,  said  here 
(AFP  reports). 

The  S2.I  billion  (£1.35  bil- 
lion). 620-megawatt  plant  in 
Bataan  province,  west  of  here 
was  built  by  the  US  firm 
Westinghouse  over  an  eight- 
vear  period  under  the  regime  of 
former  president  Marcos. 


The  disastrous  accident  at 
the  Chernobyl  nuclear  power 
plant  north  of  Kiev  has  come 
as  a blow  to  the  fast-expanding 
Soviet  nudear  energy  indus- 
try. It  is  doe  to  double  its 
present  capacity  by  the  end  of 
.the  Kremlin’s  new  five-year 
plan  in  1990. 

In  addition  to  the  frighten- 
ing human  repercussions,  dip- 
lomats last  night  were  be- 
ginning to  estimate  the 
possible  economic  consequ- 
ences to  the  state,  where 
nudear  energy  has  been  her- 
alded as  the  white  hope  in  the 
faro  of  stagnating  domestic  oQ 
production. 

Encouraged  by  the  lack  of 
internal  anti-nuclear  protests 
and  assisted  by  a sizeable 
industry  specializing  in  the 
manufacture  of  nudear  reactor 
components,  the  Soviet  Union 
has  developed  one  of  the  most 
active  nudear  construction 
programmes  in  the  world,  with 
nearly  30  plants  destined  for 
construction  in  the  next 
decade. 

A number  of  the  new  plants 
are  under  construction  near 
large  centres  of  population, 
including  the  Ukrainian  town 
of  Kharkov  and  Odessa  on  the 
Black  Sea.  Only  two  years 
ago,  the  then  Minister  of 
Power  and  Electrification,  Mr 
Petr  Neporozhny,  said:  “Such 
stations  are  very  economical 
and  can  be  built  in  the 
immediate  vicinity  of  a city 
because  they  do  not  emit 
smoke  and  are  totally  safe.” 

Western  experts  in  Moscow 
have  often  expressed  concern 
at  the  Soviet  nudear  safety 
record  and  intelligence  ana- 
lysts believe  that  the  authori- 
ties have  covered  np  at  least 
three  nudear  accidents  since 
1954,  when  Russia  became  the 
first  country  to  use  nuclear 
power  to  generate  electridty 
for  commercial  purposes. 

The  worst  is  believed  to 
have  occurred  in  an  area  just 
east  of  the  Urals  in  late  1957 
or  early  1958,  and  Western 
sources  believe  that  the  area 
may  still  be  suffering  from  the 
effects  of  contamination. 


Poor  attention  to  safety  is 
attributed  to  a number  of 
factors  indudiug  complacency' 
encouraged  by  the  political 
system,  the  obsessive  secrecy 
which  still  surrounds  the  un- 
clear energy  programme  and 
pressing  demands  from'  the' 
central  planners  fbr  more 
speed  in  construction. 

It  was  not  until  the  early 
1980s  that  any  internal  debate 
about  the  potential  hazards 
began,  with  a growing  number 
of  academics  expressing  their 
concern  in  the  offidal  press. 

An  example  of  the  problems 
came  in  1982  when  the' chief 
engineer  of  the  Balakoivo  plant 
was  quoted-  bf-  Sovietskay* 
Rossiya  as  idling  a- supplier: 
“We  examined  your  pipes  with 
ultrasound  — complete'  junk. 
There  are  even  defects  that 
can  be  seen  with  the  naked 
eye.  Moreover,  the  metal  Is  not 
of  the  spedfication  called  fbr 
in  the  plant  After.all,  It  is  a 
nudear  plant” 

Although  there  are  differ- 
ences over  official  figures,  the 
most  widely  accepted  show 
that  39  reactors  are  now  in  nse 
inside  Russia,  most  without 
containment  vessels  to  trap 
escaping  radiation. 

This  crucial  safety  device, 
widely  used  in  the  West  is 
understood  to  have  been  incor- 
porated in  the  new  plants 
under  construction  here. 

Nudear  power  is  now  re- 
sponsible for  11  per  cent  of  the 
Soviet  Union's  national  elec- 
tricity output  or  170,000  mil- 
lion kilowatts  and  is  doe  under, 
the  new  five-year  plan  to 
provide  20  per  cent  of  planned 
output  by  1990. 

The  dismal  performance  of 
the  oil  production  industry  — 
where  a number  of  senior 
officials  ■ have  recently  been 
sacked  or  repfrunaiaaled  — is 
seen  in  the  West  as  the  main 
explanation  for  the  great  en- 
thusiasm being  shown  by  Mr 
Mikhail  Gorbachov,  the  Sov- 
ietleader,  for  large-scale  in- 
vestment in  new  nudear 
plants.

Magazine  hailed  plant  as  safe 


New  York  (Reuter)  — The 
Chernobyl  nuclear  power 
plant  was  hailed  fry  an  offidal 
Soviet  magazine  in  February 
as  being  a model  of  safety. 

Soviet  Life,  printed  an  eight- 
page  article  in  its  US  edition 
which  described  the  plant  and 
its  four  reactors  as  being 
totally  safe. 

it  read  in  part  “Even  if  the 


incredible  should  happen,  the 
automatic  control  and  safety 
systems  would  shut  down  the 
reactor  in  a matter  ■ of 
minutes”. 

It  quoted  The  Ukraine  Min- 
ister of  Power,  -Mr  Vitaly 
Sklydarov,  as  saying:  “The 
odds  or  a meltdown  are  one  in 
10.000  years”.

furious 
at  delay 

From  Oil!  Kivinen

Anger  was  mounting  in 
Finland  yesterday  in  the  wake 
of  the  Chernobyl  nuclear  di- 
saster because  the  Russians 
were  extremely  slow  in  warn- 
ing their  Scandinavian  neigh- 
bour of  the  leak. 

It  . took  nearly  24  hours 
before  the  Finnish  authorities 
themselves  revealed  that  they 
had  measured  higher  than 
normal  levels  of  radioactivity 
in  the  country. 

Radioactivity  decreased  in 
Finland  yesterday  thanks  to  a 
brisk  northerly  wind,  which 
drove  the  clouds  .south.  The 
highest  level  of  radiation  was 
recorded  on  Sunday  evening 
in  Kajaani,  central  Finland, 
near  the  Soviet  border.

Swedes  angered  by  Moscow’s  failure  to  issue  warning 


From  Christoplter  Mosey 
Stockholm 

As  radioactivity  from  the. 
Soviet  nuclear  disaster  began 
to  diminish  here  yesterday, 
anger  mounted  at  Moscow's 
failure  to  alert  the  Nordic  area 
to  the  dangers  of  radiation 
spreading  from  the  Ukraine. 

Mrs  Birgitta  Dahl,  the  Min- 
ister for  Energy,  faced  protests 
from  anti-nuclear  demonstra- 
tors when  she  opened  an 
underground  storage  facility 
for  spent  nuclear  fuel  at  the 
Oskarshamn  unclear  plant  in 
southern  Sweden. 

She  said  she  took  it  for  - 
granted  that  Moscow  would 
now  allow  international  con- 
trol of  its  civil  nudear  pro- 
gramme. She  indicated  that 
Sweden  had  been  unsuccessful 
in  past  attempts  to  pressure 
Soviet  authorities  to  increase 
safety  requirements. 

Degens  Nyheter,  the  leading 
< 


Mrs  £>ahf:  confident  of 
improved  safety  measures. 

Swedish  daily,  yesterday  criti- 
cized unclear  safety  measures 
taken  by  Stockholm  to  deal 
with  fallout  from  the  Soviet 
disaster.  “Preparedness  for 
incidents  at  nuclear  plants 
must  be  reviewed."  it  said. 


Radiation  from  the  disaster 
was  first  registered  automati- 
cally by  two  measuring  instru- 
ments at  the  National  Defence 
Research  Institute  in  Stock- 
holm at  2pm  on  Sunday.  But 
this  was  not  known  until  staff 
arrived  for  work  on  Monday 
morning,  as  the  institute  is  not 
manned  at  weekends. 

Mr  Curt  Bergman,  of  the 
Defence  Ministry  research  es- 
tablishment, said  radioactivity 
in  Sweden  had  halved  over- 
night bat  was  still  between  10 
and  100  times  the  normal 
leveL  He  said  this  did  not 
mean  it  had  stopped  emulating 
from  the  Ukraine  bat  had 
merely  ceased  reaching 
Sweden. 

For  radiation  to  endanger 
health  it  would  have  to  be 
10,000  times  the  normal  level, 
he  said. 

Mr  John  Christer  Lindhe, 
spokesman  for  the,  Swedish 
K 


Radiation  Protection  Institute, 
said  that  at  one  place  in 
central  Sweden  where  it  rained 
yesterday,  radioactivity  in  the 
rainwater  had  reached  100 
times  the  normal  level  and 
residents  were-advised.  not  to 
use  it 

Measurements  taken  at 
Sweden’s  Forsmark  nuclear 
power  plant  yesterday  showed 
1,000  units  per  square  metre  of 
iodine  131  and  30,000  units 
per  square  metre  of  Neptunian 
239.  Normally  there  would  be 
no  measurement  of  either 
substance. 

A spokesman  for  the  Swed- 
ish Institute  for  Radiation 
Protection  said  radiation  ex- 
tended roughly  from  the  town 
of  Gavie  down  to  Nykoping  on 
the  east  coast  and  inland  a few 
miles.  Radiation  was  also 
detected  on  the  Baltic  Island  of 
Gotland. 

The  Soviet  disaster  has 


reactivated  a bitter  controver- 
sy in  Sweden  over  its  own 
nuclear  power  programme. 

In  a national  referendum 
held  in  1980,  Sweden  voted 
that  its  nuclear  programme  be 
limited  to  12  reactors  and  that 
these  be  phased  oat  after  25 
years. 

The  referendum  effectively 
depolitkazed  the  nudear  issue, 
which  In  J978  led  to  the 
resignation  of  Mr  ThorWoro 
Falldin,  the  then  Prime  Minis- 
ter and  a staunch  opponent  of 
nudear  power. 

Bat,  at  the  time,,  the 
People's  Campaign  Against 

Nudear  Power — which  ted  the 
fight  against  Sweden's  “peace- 
ful atom"  programme  — an- 
nounced a new  fight  aimed  at 
reminding  the  public  of  nude- 
ar hazards.  In  the  wake  of 
Chernobyl,  it  has  been  vocal  in 
denouncing  the  use  of  nudear 
power.  . 


Sweden's  12  reactors  are 
located  at  four  plants,  the  most 
controversial  of  which  is  at 
Barseback.  across  the  narrow 
sound  from  the  Danish  capital 
of  Copenhagen. 

It  was  at  Forsmark,  a power 
station  north  of  Stockholm 
with  three  boiling  water  reac- 
tors, that  the  first  -Western 
traces  of  radioactivity  from  the 
Soviet  disaster  were  found. 

It  was  first ' thought  .the 
radiation  came  from  a teak  in 
Forsmark  itself  and  the  plant 

was  evacuated.  Bnt  the  evacna- 
tion  took  too  long  according  to

EEC  and  US  hold  fire

yesterday. 

.But  there  is  still  the  danger 
of  a trade  war  breaking  out

take  retaliatory  action  against 
EEC  restrictions  on  American

Community  faces 
budget  gloom 

From  Onr  Own  Correspondent,  Brussels 


Agreement  by  European 
Community  finance  ministers 
m Luxembourg  this  week  on  a 
1987  budget  guideline  of  £23 
..  billion  — yesterday  gave  EEC 
officials  some  cheer  in  an 
otherwise  gloomy  and  poten- 
tially disastrous  financial 
outlook. 

Mr  Nigel  Lawson,  the 
Chancellor  of  the  Exchequer, 
said  the  Community  faced  a 
great  problem  of  finance,  “but 
there  is  a readiness  to  grapple 
with  it" 

On  the  other  hand,  officials 
here  served  warning  that  EEC 
budget  discipline  was  being 
ruined,  and  that  1 986  spend- 
ing would  be  approximately 
£2  billion  over  the  target 
Deep  divisions  would  now 
arise  within  the  Community 
over  where  to  make  savings. 

The  Budget  Commissioner, 
Mr.  Henning  Christophersen, 
is  expected  to  present  a Com- 
mission proposal  , today  for  a 
supplementary  budget  of  over 
£1  billion  to  be  raised  among 
member  states,  partly  in  order 
to  meet  the  cost  to  the  EEC  of 
the  fall  in  the  dollar. 

The  1986  budget  is  still  not 
finally  agreed  even  after  this 
week's  meeting  of  finance 
ministers. 

They  were  unable  to  agree 
on  which  of  the  many  factors 
causing  what  Mr  Lawson 


called  the  “horrific  financial 
overrun”  this  year  were 
“exceptional. " The  largest  ele- 
ment in  the  overrun  is  extra 
farm  spending. 

Mr  Lawson  said  the  farm 
price  fixing  exercise  had  been 
a reasonable  response,  but 
along  with  currency  changes 
in  the  European  Monetary 
System  it  added  up  to  a big 
challenge  to  budgetary  disci- 
pline. Mr  Lawson  insisted 
there  was  no  question  of 
breaching  the  1.4  per  cent 
ceiling  on  national  VAT  con- 
tributions to  EEC  revenues. 

Apart  from  the  fall  in  the 
dollar,  fills  year's  overspend- 
ing stems  partly  from  the  need 
to  pay  Britain's  rebate  under 
arrangements  which  were 
agreed  two  years  ago. 

M.  Jacques  Delon,  the  pres- 
ident of  the  Commission,  said 
the  Commission  favoured 
budgelary  rigour,  but  not  “a 
mechanical  application  of 
budgetary  discipline,"  which 
would  be  detrimental  to  EEC 
policies. 

Officials  said  the  danger  was 
that  the  Commission's  pro- 
posed supplementary  budget 
would  bring  EEC  spending 
perilously  dose  to  the  1.4  per 
cent  VAT  ceiling,  and  that  the 
situation  would  worsen  fiir-j 
ther  if  the  fell  in  the  dollar 
continued.  5 


Blacks  in 
May  Day 
showdown 

From  Ray  Kennedy  . 

Johannesburg 

Over  one  million  blacks  are 
being  urged  to  stay  away  from 
work  tomorrow  in  a show- 
down between  their  increas- 
ingly potent  trade  unions  and 
employers  over  a paid  May 
Day  holiday. 

Although  the  Government's 
attitude  is  that  it  is  at  present 
outside  the  dispute,  the  police 
have  served  warning  that  they 
will  take  stem  action  against 
intimidators  trying  to  stop 
people  going  to  work. 

Radical  black  groups  and 
trade  union  organizations 
want  both  May  Day  and  June 
16  — the  anniversary  of  the 
1976  Soweto  riots  - to  be 
declared  public  holidays. 

Some  have  suggested  they 
should  replace  Republic  Day 
(May  31)  and  the  Day  of  the 
Vow  (December  16).  the  Afri- 
kaner commemoration  of  the 
Voortrekker  defeat  of  Zulus. 

Rallies  to  mark  the  100th 
anniversary  of  May  Day  are 
being  planned  throughout  the 
country. 

In  Durban,  police  are  pre- 
. paring  for  clashes  between 
supporters  of  the  500,000- 
strong  Congress  of  South  Afri- 
can Trade  Unions  and  the 
pro-capitalist  United 
Workers’  Union  of  South 
Africa. 

The  2 5fr 000-member  Na- 
tional Union  of  Mineworkers 
has  called  for  a total  work 
stoppage  in  the  country's  gold 
and  coal  mines. 

• LONDON:  The  Common- 
wealth “eminent  persons 
group"  on  South  Africa  are  to 
meet  here  today  to  consider 
whether  a message  they  have 
been  sent  by  President  Botha 
is  sufficiently  constructive  for 
them  to  pay  a second  visit  to 
South  Africa  next  month 
(Nicholas  Ashford  writes).

Stockholm  - Victor  Gun- 


narsson,  who  was  CJ 
with  the  murder  of  Mr  Olot 
Palme,  the  Swedish  Prime

inquiries  (Christopher  Mosey 
writes). 

Mr  Guimarsson.  aged  33. 
who  has  been  in  protective 
custody  since  the  charge  was 
dropped,  took  pan  in  several 
identification  parades  at  po- 
lice headquarters. 

Hehas  denied  any  involve- 
ment in  the  killing. 

However,  several  witnesses 
have  identified  him  as  a man 
who  came  running  into  a 
cinema  near  the  murder  spot 
in  central  Stockholm  shortly 
after  the  assassination. 

Yesterday,  -experts  exam-

countries. 

Washington  said  this  dis- 
criminated against  American 
exports  of  grain  and  soya 
beans,  and  it  has  threatened  to 
retaliate  by  raising  tariffs  on 
EEC  wine,  fruit  juice,  baked 
goods,  cheese  and  pork. 

Brussels  then  produced  its 
own  list  of  American  prod- 
ucts. which  include  honey, 
bourbon,  soya  cake  and  rice. 

The  feeling  in  Brussels  is 
that  the  trade  war  language 
has  got  out  of  hand  and  that 
direct  contact  between  Euro- 
pean and  American  leaders  at 
Tokyo  will  cool  things  down. 

Six  of  the  summit  partici- 
pants are  from  EEC  nations. 
In  addition,  the  EEC  will  be 
represented  by  M Jacques 
Defers,  President  of  the  Euro- 
pean Commission,  and  Mr 
Ruud  Lubbers,  the  Dutch 
Prime  Minister  and  current 
president  of  the  EEC  Council 
of  Ministers.  This  is  only  the 
second  time  the  Council  Presi- 
dent has  taken  part  in  the 
annual  summit. 

EEC  officials  acknowledge 
that  terrorism  will  be  high  on 
the  agenda,  and  there  are 
hopes  that  the  rift  in  the 
Western  alliance  over  how  to 
deal  with  Libyan  terrorism 
can  be  patched  up. 

But  EEC  officials  insist  that 
the  heart  of  the  Tokyo  agenda 
is  monetary  and  financial 
stability,  together  with  interest 
rates.  Third  World  debt  and 
global  energy  problems.  Ter- 
rorism should  not  dominate 
the  discussions,  they  said.

KarmaTs 
absence 
blamed  on 
illness 

From  Michael  Hamlyn 
Delhi 

There  was  continued  specu- 
lation in  Western  embassies  in 
Delhi  yesterday  about  Presi- 
dent Babrak  Kannal  of  Af- 
ghanistan, who  foiled,  to 
attend  his  country's  national 
day  celebrations  last  weekend. 

His  absence  was  explained 
by  the  Government  media  as 
being  due  to  medical  treat- 
ment in  Moscow  taking  longer 
than  expected,  implying  he 
was  still  there.  References  to 
him  in  the  state-controlled 
media  subsequently  have  been 
few  — a marked  contrast  to  the 
normal  state  of  affairs. 

In  his  place  on  tbe  parade 
reviewing  stand — which  polit- 
ical students  say  reveals  the 
true  stale  of  affairs  — was 
Sultan  Ali  Kishunand,  the 
Prime  Minister,  whose  recent 
visit  to  Moscow  received 
much  publicity  both  in  the 
Soviet  Union  and  in  Afghani- 
stan. One  Western  embassy 
suggested  this  may  put  him  in 
line  for  the  presidency.  Other 
observers,  however,  rule  him 
out  because  be  is  a Shi  a 
whereas  most  of  the  popula- 
tion are  Sunni  Muslims:  he 
also  comes  from  the  Hazrajal 
where  it  is  thought  tbe 
country's  leader  should  come 
from  the  majority  ethnic 
grouping  of  the  Pushtu. 

He  was  flanked  by  Dr 
Muhammad  Najibullah,  the 
former  head  of  the  secret 
police  force,  Khad,  and  a 
member  of  the  party  secretari- 
at. and  Mr  Noor  Ahmad 
Noor,  a member  of  the  Polit- 
buro. The  keynote  address 
was  made  by  Mr  Nazar  Mu- 
hammad. the  Minister  of 
Defence.

Sabotage  fears 
as  Emperor’s 
60-year  reign 
is  celebrated 


. From  David  Watts,  Tokyo 


Japan's  124th  Emperor  cel- 
ebrated his  sixtieth  year  on  the 
Chrysanthemum  Throne  yes* 
today  as  tbonsands  of  police 
stood  by  on  special  security 
duties. 

A ceremony  of  austere  for- 
mality beneath  a spotlighted 
rising  sun  Dag  marked  the 
longest  reign  of  any  emperor  m 
a dynasty  believed  the  oldest 
in  the  world. 

The  first  14  emperors  are 
now  thought  to  have  been 
mythical  figures  bat  the  next 
in  line.  Emperor  Ojin,  is 
believed  to  have  ruled  from  the 
late  fourth  century. 

Six  thousand  guests,  includ- 
ing sportsmen  and  women, 
politicians  and  personalities 
from  the  arts  world,  saw 
Emperor  Hirobito  arrive  for 
the  ceremony  in  perfect  spring 
weather.  Neither  Empress 
Nagako  nor  Crown  Princess 
Michiko  was  well  enough  to 
attend. 

In  contrast  to  tbe  vintage  of 
the  imperial  dynasty  the  build- 
ing in  which  the  celebrations 
were  held  is  one  of  tbe  newest 
in  Tokyo. 

Police  were -stationed  every 
5ft  around  the  site  and  all 


roads  were  sealed  off  in  fear  of 

attacks  by  radical  leftists  who 
have  pledged  to  smash  both 
the  imperial  celebrations  mid 
the  summit  meeting  of  seven 
industrial  countries  in  Tokyo. 

In  the  early  hours  of  yester- 
day a man  was  blinded  when  a 
bomb  went  off  in  the  public 
lavatory  of  a Tokyo  park  about 
two  miles  from  tbe  palace. 

Train  services  were  halted 
for  90  minutes  in  two  places 
after  sabotage  attacks  claimed 
by  the  country's  most  radical 
left-wing  group  Chnkaku-ha. 
Communications  cables  were 
burnt  at  Osaka  in  tbe  west  and 
on  a prestige  line  in  central 
Japan.  Services  ran  late  after 
the  resumption. 

The  same  group  has  threat- 
ened to  assassinate  both  tbe 
Emperor  and  the  Prime  Min- 
ister. Last  year  Chukakn-ha 
threw  the  Tokyo  rail  system 
into  chaos  after  simultaneous 
attacks  put  several  commuter 
lines  out  of  action. 

In  a speech  of  congratula- 
tion, Mr  Yasuhiro  Nakasone, 
the  Prime  Minister,  said  that 
bonds  between  Emperor  and 
people  had  grown  stronger  and 
stood  tbe  test  of  history. 


The  Emperor,  reading  from 
a formal  speech  in  bis  charac- 
teristic high-pitched  voice, 
hoped  for  peace  and  the 
happiness  of  the  world 
community. 

Though  the  actual  date  of 
the  anniversary  does  not  fall 
until  December  the  Govern- 
ment derided  to  hold  the 
ceremony  to  coincide  with  tbe 
eighty-futh  birthday  of  the 
Emperor  which  fell  yesterday. 

Opposition  from  tbe  Social- 
ist and  Communist  parties  has 
centred  on  the  Government's 


ese  of  tbe  anniversary  for 
political  reasons  In  trying  to 
prolong  Mr  Nakasone's  ten- 
ore  and  boost  the  ruling 
Liberal  Democratic  Party  in 
elections  which  are  due  to  be 
held  in  Jane. 

Rallies  in  opposition  to  tbe 
celebrations  were  held  all  over

Pupils  lose 
in  Spain’s 
school  war 


Norway’s 
PM  faces 
vote  test 


From  Richard  Wigg 
Madrid 


More  than  two  and  a hall 
million  Spanish  schoolchil- 
dren are  likely  to  miss  school 
all  this  week  as  owners  ol 
private  schools  stage  whai 
they  call  a “suspension  ol 
activities"  in  protest  at  the 
Socialist  Government’s  new 
policy  on  education  subsidies. 

Senor  Jos£  Maria  Mara  vail, 
the  Education  Minister,  ac- 

effecuTbad*  ^^T^ctonsive" 
The  organizers  claim  that  on 
the  first  day  of  their  protest  95 
per  cent  of  the  country’s  8,000 
privately-run  schools  dosed. 


Spain’s  so-called  “schools 
war”  is  not  about  parents’ 
right  to  send  their  children  to 
fee-paying  schools,  but  about 
efforts  by  Senor  MaravaU  to 
exercise  stricter  control  over 
the  public  funding  of  such 
schools,  which  in  many  cases* 
cover  100  per  cent  of  the 
running  costs. 


At  state  in  the  dispute  Is  a 
total  of  135,000  million  pese- 
tas (£630  million),  in  stale 
subsidies  due  to  be  allocated 
in  the  new  school  year. 

The  funding,  particularly  in 
secondary  schools,  was  started 
by  the  Franco  regime  with  a 
minimum  of  supervision,  and 
the  school  owners  and  tbe 
parents’  associations  resent 
the  minister’s  determination 
to  limit  their  powers. 

The  “schools  war"  has  dear 
ideological  undertones.  The 
Socialists  are  certain  to  mate 
political  capita]  out  of  Senor 
Maravall’s  reforms  in  the 
forthcoming  general  election 
as  most  of  the  private  schools 
are  run  by  lay  organizations  of 
the  Catholic  Church.  Many 
parents  believe  their  children 
gel  a better  education  in  such 
schools  than  in  the  state 


sector. 


Spain's  right-wing  Opposi- 
tion, which  took  Seflor 
MaravaJl's  education  law  to 
the  Constitutional  Court  and 
lost,  has  eagerly  backed  the 
stoppage. 

The  school  owners  claim 
that  more  than  600  private 
schools  will  be  denied  subsi- 
dies by  Senor  MaravalL  But 
the  Education  Ministry  says 
that  the  number  would  be  less 
than  200. 

The  owners  maintain  that 
the  Socialists  axe  trying  to  ukiU 
ofT  private  schools. 


From  Tony  Samstag 
Oslo 

After  weds  of  economic 
uncertainty  and  industrial  tur- 
moil the  coalition  Govern- 
ment of  Mr  Kaare  Willoch 
yesterday  faced  a vote  of  no- 
confidence  in  the  Norwegian 
Parliament  The  preliminary 
debate  was  expected  to  last 
well  into  the  night 

The  popular  Labour  Party 
leader.  Mrs  Gro  Harlem 
Bnindtiand.  who  was  Prune 
Minister  briefly  in  19&1,  will 
probably  be  asked  to  form  a 
new  government  if  tire  Prime 
Minister  cannot  negotiate  last- 
minute  approval  for  his 
“Easter  Package"  of  austerity 
budget  measures,  which  at- 
tempt to  recoup  lost  revenues 
resulting  from  the  collapse  in 
oil  prices  earlier  this  year. 

Late-night  meetings  -■ be- 
tween Mr  Willoch,  coalition 
members  and  Opposition 
leaders  have  failed  to  reach 
agreement  in  particular  tin  a 
rise  in.  petrol  taxes.  ‘ 

.*  Mr  willoch' has  threatened 
repeatedly  to  resign  over  the 
issue  and  has  denounced  as 
totally  unacceptable  Labour’s 
demand  of  a 2 per  cent  lax 
increase  on  higher  incomes  in 
return  for  support  of  toe 
budget  package;  which  has 
proved  immensely  unpopular.

President  Reagan's  commission  of  inquiry  into  January's 
shuttle  disaster  has  uncovered  a remarkable  story  of  poor 
management,  safety  sacrificed  to  cost-cutting  and  danger 
signs  ignored  or  rationalized.  Keith  Hindley  explains  what 
happened  and  how  the  space  agency  fell  from  grace. 


A puff  of  smoke  less 
than  ball'  a second 
after  ignition  was 
the  first  visible  sign 
of  impending  catas- 
trophe as  the  Challenger  space 
shuttle  lifted  off  on  January- 
2$.  The  smoke  became  ihe 
focus  of  the  presidential 
commission's  investigation, 
but  the  inquiry  also  fought  its 
way  through  a complex  ad- 
ministrative fog  to  reveal 
astonishing  evidence  of  slack 
management.  ignored 
warnings  and  safety  sacrificed 
io  expediency. 

It  is  reasonable  to  conclude 
that  Challenger  should  never 
have  lifted  off.  The  main 
factors  are: 

• The  makers  of  the  solid- 
rocket  boosters  wanted  to 
cancel  the  flight  but  Nasa 
persuaded  them  to  change 
their  recommendation. 

• A string  of  other  experts, 
some  within  the  National 
Space  and  Aeronautic?  Agen- 
cy (Nasal  itself,  had  raised 
doubts  about  the  safety  of 
seals  in  the  boosters,  which 
proved  fatally  flawed  in  the 
prevailing  conditions. 

• The  weather  played  a cru- 
cial dual  role  — the  tempera- 
ture was  below  die  safe 
operating  level  for  the  seals 
and  a windshear  buffering  48 
seconds  into  the  flight  proba- 
bly caused  the  second,  fetal, 
leak  of  gases. 

• Nasa's  budget  cuts  of  the 
last  few  years  seriously  affect- 
ed its  attitude  to  safety 
measures. 

The  first,  tell-tale  puff  of 
smoke  came  from  the  right- 
hand  solid  rocket  booster. 
These  boosters  bum  a rubbery 
solid  that  is  cast  in  sections, 
four  of  which  are  stacked  and 


bolted  together  to  build  up 
each  booster  with  heat-resis- 
tant putty.  Two  large  rubber 
seals  join* (he  segments. 

It  will  probably  never  be 
determined  whether 
these  seals  would  have 
lasted  through  the  two- 
minute  bum  of  the 
booster.  In  fact  they  must 
have  been  shaken  badly  by  the 
uindshcar  buffeting  after  48 
seconds  because  within  sec- 
onds smoke  appeared  again. 
This  leak  of  burning  gases  was 
the  ultimate  cause  of  the 
disaster. 

The  weather  is  the  chief 
suspect.  Tests  showed  that  the 
rubber  rings  become  hard  and 
slow  to  seal  at  temperatures 
below  about  50T.  The  launch 
took  place  at  air  temperatures 
dose  to  freezing  point. 

This  had  worried  engineers 
from  Morton  Thiokol.  who 
made  the  boosters,  and  at  an 
eve-of-launch  conference  they 
voted  for  postponement  of  the 
launch.  Nasa  tried  to  persuade 
the  Thiokol  engineers  to  re- 
consider. They  refused.  Hav- 
ing failed  to  gain  dear 
approval  for  a launch,  the 
Nasa  officials  reversed  the 
thinking  and  asked  whether 
there  was  any  firm  evidence 
that  the  seals  were  unsafe  at 
low  temperatures.  The  answer 
was  no.  After  much  heated 
discussion.  Nasa  asked  for  a 
Thiokol  management  deri- 
sion. Managers  agreed  to  rec- 
ommend a launch. 

These  reservations  by  Thio- 
kol engineers  never  reached 
senior  Nasa  management 
charged  with  making  the  final 
decision  to  launch.  Worse,  the 
commission  discovered  that 
the  seals  had  worried  engi- 


neers and  even  budget  officials 
for  at  least  four  years.  They 
had  been  listed  as  “criticality 
one"  (a  term  describing  com- 
ponents whose  failure  could 
lead  to  the  total  loss  of  a 
shuttle)  in  1982. 

A study  was  started  and  it 
was  agreed  that  ihe  shuttle 
could  fly  in  the  meantime. 
The  back-up  requirement  was 
waived,  Nasa  expressing  great 
confidence  in  the  effectiveness 
of  the  first  seal. 

Thiokol  were  less  confident 
One  of  their  engineers  said  he 
and  his  colleagues  “held  their 
breath**  for  the  first  two 
minutes  of  every  launch  and 
celebrated  when  the  boosters 
burnt  oul  He  admits  he  was 
shaking  as  he  watched  the 
Challenger  rise. 

Public  concern  about  the 
situation  was  eventually 
raised  by  a Nasa  budget 
anaiysL  Richard  Cook,  in  July 
last  year.  He  said  the  seals  had 
to  be  improved:  the  loss  of  a 
shuttle  would  be  disastrous 
financially,  apart  from  the  loss 
of  life.  W’ithin  weeks,  several 
independent  memos  from 
Thiokol  engineers  were  issued 
raising  concern  that  some- 
thing should  be  done  urgently. 
One  suggested  that  all  shuttle 
flights  should  be  postponed 
until  the  problem  was 
resolved. 

The  commission  has  also 
discovered  that  engineers 
from  Rockwell,  the  shuttle's 
prime  contractor,  had  reserva- 
tions that  shattered  iddes 
could  damage  the  shuttle's 
delicate  heal  tiles  and  said  a 
launch  may  might  not  be  safe. 
Yet  another  group  was  wor- 
ried that  Challenger  had  been 
sitting  on  the  launch  pad  for 
38  days  in  cold,  frequently  wet

and  sometimes  freezing  condi- 
tions. They  knew  that  booster 
seals  on  military  rockets  like 
the  Pershing  had  shown  a 
tendency  to  absorb  water  into 
the  seal  gaps.  If  that  water 
froze  it  would  prevent  the 
seals  working  until  the  steam 
produced  on  ignition  had 
blown  out 

The  presidential  commis- 
sion has  been  shocked  by  the 
way  Nasa  management  sched- 
uled the  run-down  in  shuttle 
funding  based  ou  the  most 
optimistic  of  estimates.  Nasa 
has  always  maintained  that 
the  shuttle  would  be  a com- 
mercially viable  launch  vehi- 
cle. covering  its  costs  once 
development  was  complete. 
This  could  be  achieved  only 
by  cutting  costs  and  increasing 
the  launch  frequency  (well 
over  half  the  shuttle's  operat- 
ing costs  are  fixed  overheads 
spread  over  whatever  number 
of  flights  are  made  each  year). 

So  the  budget  for  booster 
rocket  development  has  fallen 
from  £89  million  to  a planned 
£7  million  next  year  while  an 
allocation  for  dealing  with 
unexpected  problems  fell  from 
J 0 per  cent  of  the  research  and 
development  budget  in  1982  to 
less  than  one  per  cent  this 
year.  Nasa  has  been  behaving 
as  if  the  shuttle  was  a mature, 
tested  technology,  and  has  not 
wanted  to  hear  about  major 
new  problems  which  would 
cause  budget  difficulties. 

The  commission  found  a 
histoiy  of  safety  being  com- 
promised. to  some  extent,  by 
deferring  repairs,  minimizing 
the  need  for  some  modifica- 
tions and  muting  the  urgency 
of  some  engineering  recom- 
mendations. Many  worried 
engineers  have  emerged  from 
the  Nasa  woodwork  in  recent 
weeks. 

The  commission  has  learnt 
that  in  the  case  of  740  items 
where  the  need  for  a back-up 
system  was  regarded  as  essen- 
tial. it  was  waived.  Cutbacks 
have  even  affected  manage- 
ment in  Washington  but  al- 
ways more  on  the  engineering 
than  administrative  levels. 
Milton  SiJveira.  Nasa's  chief 
engineer,  says  his  staff  has 
been  reduced  by  a third. 
“We're  now  too  short-handed 
to  carry  out  the  job”,  he  says. 
“We’re  handling  more  flights, 
yet  taking  manpower  cuts. 
We're  just  not  able  to  take  a 
dose  look  at  everything.  The 
Challenger  accident  was  pre- 
ventable and  budget  cuts  are 
partly  to  blame.” 

Another  problem  has  been 
the  rivalry  between  each  of  the 
Nasa  research  centres.  They 
are  all  in  competition  for 
funds,  and  communications 
between  them  have  faltered  as 
the  rivalry  grew.  All.  but 
especially  the  Goddard  Space- 
flight  Centre  in  Huntsville, 
Alabama,  have  become  secre- 
tive and  tended  to  communi-

cate  policy  derisions  to  their  I 
colleagues  without  revealing 
the  discussions  behind  them. 

The  commission’s  revela- 
tions will  shake  Nasa  as 
nothing  else  has.  The  organi- 
zation clearly  has  to  change. 
“We  will  not  launch  again 
until  safety-related  problems 
have  been  properly  addressed 
throughout  the  Nasa  system”, 
Richard  Truly,  the  new  shuttle 
programme  director,  says.  But 
that  will  require  money  on  a 
scale  that  the  US  Congress 
may  not  be  prepared  to  supply 
and  delays  that  shuttle  cus- 
tomers may  be  unable  to 
swallow. 

Above  all.  Nas3  and  the  US 
establishment  must  throw 
away  the  notion  that  the 
shuttle  is  a commercially  via- 
ble space  launcher.  Viewed 
realistically,  the  shuttle  cannot 
now  compete  commercially 
with  Ariane,  the  European 
Space  Agency's  launcher,  and 
may  not  be  able  to  compete 
with  Russian  vehicles  already 
on  offer  and  Japanese  and 
Indian  launchers  under 
development 

Certainly  the  shuttle  disas- 
ter — and  the  commission's 
report  — demonstrate  that 
Nasa's  long  run  of  successes 
was  heavily  dependent  on  its 
access  to  almost  limitless 
aerospace  activities. 

Nasa’s  wort  is  organized 
into  projects,  its  engineers 
working  in  close  cooperation 
with  (usually)  one  main  out- 
side contractor  and  a number 
of  sub-contractors.  Each  col- 
laborator has  its  own  hierar- 
chy of  engineers  and  managers 
and  each  project  is  overseen 
by  a management  team  in 
Washington. 

In  rts  heyday,  during  the 
Apollo  moon  landing 
project,  Nasa  built  an 
impressive  reputation 
for  sharp,  competent 
management,  dealing  with  the 
parade  of  unforeseen  prob- 
lems that  always  arise  with 
projects  being  conducted  at 
the  cutting  edge  of  high- 
technology  research. 

Nasa  has  always  been  in- 
volved with  audacious  leaps 
in  high  technology  since  only 
impressive  major  projects 
have  any  real  chance  of  being 
fended  enthusiastically  by  the 
US  Congress  and  Senate 
But  in  recent  years,  massive 
overspending  in  major 
prefects  at  a time  when  annual 
budgets  were  felling  has  re- 
moved the  freedom  from 
Nasa's  decision-making  pro- 
cess. Everyone  is  acutely 
aware  that  fends  are  short  and 
problems  can  no  longer  be 
solved  by  throwing  money  at 
them. 

Therefore  engineers  and 
management  have  been  forced 
lo  look  at  alternative,  cheaper 
solutions — “fix  it"  rather  than 
“redesign  it”.

COUNTDOWN  TO  DISASTER 


The  Presidential  commiss- 
ion's first  job  has  been  to 
determine  exactly  what  did 
happen  when  the  space  shuttle 
Challenger  rose  off  die  launch 
pad  on  January  28.  A detailed 
study  of  all  film,  video  and  still 
photography,  engineering  data 
radioed  to  the  ground  or 
recovered  from  the  shuttle's 
flight  recorders  has  allowed  a 
precise  chronology  of  die  brief 
flight  to  be  reconstructed.  The 
timings  are  in  seconds  measur- 
ing from  the  ignition  of  the 
solid  rocket  boosters  (SRBs).

The  announcement

From  the  team  that  convulsed 
the  Irish  Republic  with  an 
anti-abortion  amendment 
and  reform  of  the  family 
planning  laws  comes  the  next 
a™J  probably  final  battle  between 
church  and  state:  the  removal  of  the 
constitutional  ban  on  divorce. 

_.j5?  four  years  since  Dr  Garret 
FitzGerald  came  to  power  on  a wave 
of  support  from  liberal  urban  voters 
have  at  times  seemed  like  a long- 
running  serial  on  the  question  of  the 
Irish  and  sra.  A constitutional  amend- 
ment forbidding  abortion  was  passed 
in  1983  after  a divisive  referendum 
during  which  the  country  was  given 
. one  huge  sex  education  lesson.  Last 
year  a police  inquiry  into  a child's 
murder  turned  into  the  “Kerry  babies" 
case,  where  attitudes  towards  adultery, 
women,  sex  and  illegitimacy  raiw 
under  the  spotlight;  even  the  modest 
reform  in  1985  of  contraceptive  laws 
brought  agonizing  from  the  church 
and  its  members  militant 
But  behind  the  contraceptive  issue 
was  the  much  bigger  question  of 
divorce,  which  Dr  FitzGerald  is  now 
confronting  by  means  of  a rcferen-  i 
dum,  probably  in  June,  to  remove  the 
constitutional  ban. 

Thai  personal  bequest  of  de  Valera 
to  future  generations,  the  written 
constitution  of  1937,  states  in  Article 
41  that  "no  law  shall  be  enacted 
providi  ng  for  the  grant  of  a dissolution 
of  marriage".  But  without  divorce,  in 
the  words  of  Mrs  Nuala  Fennell,  a

Several  options  exist  for  ending  a 
marriage,  but  all  fall  short  of  divorce. 
A judicial  separation  acknowledges 
that  the  marriage  is  finished  but  does 
not  allow  remarriage;  a civil  annul- 
ment leaves  both  partners  free  to 
remarry,  although  the  children  of  that

For  almost  50  years  the  Irish  have 
Jived  with  the  ban,  but  since  the 
middle  1960s  it  has  been  under  grow- 
ing attack,  figures  for  those  affected 
by  marital  breakdown  are  conflicting,

ing 70,000  in  total  out  of  a population 
of  3.5  million,  but  social  welfare

concern  about  the  dangers  of  rapidly 
drifting  to  divorce  on  demand. 

The  five-year  qualifying  condition 
has  been  welcomed  by  ihe  Divorce 
Action  Group  for  both  political  and 
social  reasons.  One  member,  Andrea 
Bridges,  separated  from  her  husband 
for  10  years,  says:  “As  a person  who 
has  gone  through  the  separation  and 
who  has  made  another  relationship.  I 
would  say  you  need  about  five  years  to 
gel  over  a marriage.  I have  a few 
friends  who  would  have  been  disas- 
trously married  twice  and  even  three 
times  if  they  could  have  remarried  in 
less  than  five  years." 

Since  her  marriage  broke  up, 
Andrea,  aged  38.  has  made  a 
second  relationship' with  Tom 
Kennedy,  a marketing  execu- 
tive. by  whom  she  has  had  a 
son,  Cten.  a brother  for  the  two 
daughters  of  her  marriage.  She  refused 
to  accept  her  solicitor's  advice  to  try' 
for  a civil  annulmem  as  she  was 
unwilling  to  say  there  had  never  been  a 
marriage  or  to  confine  her  daughters 
to  the  status  of  being  illegitimate. 

Under  Irish  law.  Cian  has  a claim  on 
the  estate  of  Andrea’s  husband,  but 
not  of  his  real  father,  and  so  u>  ensure 
security  for  him  they  have  taken  out 
an  insurance  policy  to  be  held  in  trust 
until  he  grows  up.  “But  in  many 
similar  cases  the  child  would  be  in 
limbo  if  anything  happened  to  the 
parents",  she  says. 

She  wants  the  divorce  so  that,  in 
Tom’s  words,  they  can  marry'  and  put 
“everything  above  board”.  Andrea 
asked:  “Why  in  Ireland  should  your 
husband  be  tied  irrevocably  to  you 
when  you  might  hate  him?" 

Despite  offering  assistance  and 
guidance  to  those  faced  with  the 
trauma  of  marital  breakdown,  both 
the  Roman  Catholic  Church  and 
Family  Solidarity  will  oppose1  the 
referendum.  The  bishops  will  empha- 
size the  indissolubility  of  marriage  but 
will  widen  the  issue  to  include  the 
effect  on  the  family  and  on  children  in 
particular.  Aware  that  support  for 
divorce  is  growing,  the  hierarchy  is 
anxious  to  avoid  making  the  issue  a

Solidarity  by  surprise,  was  an  attempt 
to  settle  the  issue  quickly  and  prevent 
priests  thundering  to  their  fiock  ■ 
Sunday  after  Sunday.  * 

Although  Family  Solidarity  denies  ; 
that.it  is  a battle  between  church  and 
stale.  Mrs  Bernadette  Bonnar,  a 
member  of  its  executive,  ays  the 
referendum  will  be  a.  "close-run 
thing”.  To  her  the  referendum  is  an 
opportunity  lor  the  people  to  defend  < 
traditional  values  and  culture.  “May-  i 
be  we  can  give  a lead.  This  change  is 
for  the  worse  and  we  must  stand  up 
and  try  and  stop  it.  We  would  be  a 
worthless  nation  to  do  otherwise."  ■ 
A lifelong  Fine  Gael  supporter,  she 
is  contemptuous  of  Dr  FitzGerald,  for 
whom  divorce  is  an  issue  he  cannot 
lose  politically  whatever  the  outcome. 
He  needed  to  act  because  a new  third 
party,  the  Progressive  Democrats,  has  j 
been  drawing  support  from  exactly  the  • 
liberal  urban  vote  that  put  him  in 
power,  and  his  much  trumpeted 
“constitutional  crusade”  to  remove 
laws  which  allowed  critics  of  the 
republic  to  say  “Rome  rules"  had 
produced  little.  If  the  referendum  is  ! 
lost  the  Taoiseach  will  at  least  be  able  I 
to  say  that  he  has  attempted  to  live  up 
to  his  reputation  as  a “liberal  j 
crusader.  i 

The  church  will  live  to  fight  another  I 
day.  probably  aware  that  it  is  only  jj 
delaying  divorce.  Defeat  will  deeply  | 
disappoint  those  affected  by  broken  9 
marriages,  but  as  Andrea  Bridges  says:  jj 
“We  will  have  our  normal  Irish  R 
solution  to  an  Irish  problem.  There  is  » 
no  one  bener  than  the  Irish  at  finding  a | 
way  to  eel  round  the  law."  L? 


R The  two  priorities,  there- 
p fore,  must  be  for  more  exten- 
h sive  screening  of  women  31 
} risk,  and  greater  application 
J by  doctors  of  the  latest  meth- 
od j to  identify  and  treat 
5 cervical  abnormalities  that 
; could  develop  into  cancer. 

5 ^n  overhaul  of  the  exist- 
; ing.  much-criticized  cervical 
■ screening  programme  is  al- 
- ready  under  way.  and  the 
j introduction  of  a national 
! computerized  system  should 
i- soon- lead  to:mere  frequent 
5 testing  and  belter  safeguards. 
:■  -For  women  whose  tests 
s require  funner  investigation. 

! .the  path  chosen  by  more  and 
:more  specialists  is 
colposcopy,  followed  if  neces- 
sary by  laser  treatment  to 
i eradicate  potentially  cancer- 
{ ous  cervical  tissue. 

! The  colposcope  is  a type  of 
i microscope  which  allows 
about  XMimes  magnification 
to  identify  very  accurately 
j and  assess  any  problem  areas 
of  the  cervix.  The  procedure 
takes  about  15  minutes  and  is 
! v inuaflv'  painless.  The  e\am- 
li  ining  clinician  may  take  at 

Iihe  same  time  a sample  of 
cervical  tissue  for  analysis. 

The  colposcope  was  in- 
vented in  Hamburg  in  the 

! early  1920s  but  did  not  begin 
to  find  a place  in  British 
medicine  until  the  late  1970s.

It  was  the  realization 
£T  that  middle  age  had 
surreptitiously  round- 
wfc&a  ed  our  contours  and 
stiffened  our  joints 
that  prompted  us  to  acquire  a 
dog.  Balking  at  the  suggestion 
of  jogging  or  aerobics  to  work 
us  back  to  youth,  we  opted  for 
the  gentler  alternative  of  wa Ik- 
ing. A dog  seemed  the  only 
way  of  ensuring  that  we  kept  to 
our  good  intentions. 

Our  knowledge  of  canine 
breeds  was  limited  and  we 
liked  the  idea  of  offering 
refuge  to  an  abandoned  ani- 
mal. so  we  set  off  for  the 
nearest  Dog  Rescue  Home. 

Our  enthusiasm  was  soon 
dashed  when  we  discovered  we 
were  not  allowed  even  to  see 
the  dogs  until  we  had  been 
“approved". 

Alarmed,  we  enquired  what 
this  meant.  As  well  as  being 
told  that  someone  would  come 
to  inspect  our  house,  we  were 
presented  with  a lengthy  ques-

donnaire  to  complete.  Was  our 
garden  fenced  in?  Had  we 
children  under  five?  Was  there 
someone  in  the  house  all  day? 

It  was  the  last  question  that 
particularly  concerned  me.  I 
timidly  muttered  something 
about  working  a couple  of 
hours  every  afternoon,  to 
which  I received  the  stern 
response:  “We  do  expect  our 
owners  to  be  in  most  of  the 
day.  Of  course,  they  can  go  out 
shopping 

Going  home  dogless,  I be- 
gan to  fear  that  we  might  not 
be  “approved".  It  was  not  so 
much  being  refused  a dog  that 
concerned  me.  but  ibe  shame 
of  my  home  not  being  consid- 
ered habitable  for  one.  What 
were  they  looking  for? 

For  a whole  week  I managed 
to  keep  the  house  tidy.  I 
refused  all  temptations  to  go 

on  shopping  sprees  and  stayed 
indoors.  After  a week  the 
effort  did  not  seem  north  the 
dog  and  I decided  i would 
neier  get  on  with  anything 
that  needed  a tidy  house.  We 
had  also  run  out  of  food. 

1 had  almost  forgotten  about 
the  whole  matter  when  the 
inspector  from  the  dogs'  home 
arrived.  Clipboard  in  hand, 
she  swept  through  the  piles  of 
ironing  and  strode  into  the 
garden.  Our  unfenced  plot 


stretched  into  a scented  blue- 
bell wood  surrounded  by 
school  playing  fields.  “Don't 
choose  a jack  Russell,  he'll 
disappear",  she  said  as  she 
pressed  (be  “approied”  card 
into  my  hand.  1 felt  as  if  1 had 
passed  an  exam. 

And  thus  it  was  that  we  fell 
in  love  with  an  insatiably 
active  Jack  Russell  and  took 
him  apprehensively  home.  He 
troiced  into  our  sitting  room, 
sniffed  around,  and  then 
cocked  his  leg  regally  on  our 
precious  red  velvet  sofa.  My 
husband  froze. 

it  was  not  long  before  I 
discovered  why  ideal  aban- 
doned dog  owners-  are  people- 
who  stay  at  home.  They  are 
either  so  exhausted  from  being 
dragged  across  the  country- 
side by  an  ecstatically  happy 
dog,  or  else  they  hare  to  stay  in 
to  preterit  the  dog  bowling, 
miserably  because  it  thinks,  if 
left  for  a few  minutes,  that  it  Is 
being  abandoned  for  a second 
time. 

We  do  get  our  exercise  come 
rain  or  simw.  but  we  are  no 

thtnatr.or  fitter,  and  the  dog  is  : 
fatter.  Bui  a new  and  unex- 
pected dimension  has  come  j 
into  our  lives.  Apart  from  a j 
mutual  admiration  society  be-  j 
tween  dog  and  o»  ner,  we  found 
(hat  children  stop  to  talk  to  us 
and  old  people  smile  at  us 
and  we  hare  shared  the  lives  of 
strangers  who  hare 
told  us  their  closest 
secrets  w hile  Our  dogs 
tangle  their  leads  Mr 
round  one  another.  ^ 


Innovations  in 
technology  and 
training  this  week 
will  give  women  a 
better  chance  of 
early  detection 

piials  and  clinics  but  some 
leading  gynaecologists  be- 
lieve ihai  there  is  a need  for 
yet  more  training  in  its  use. 
Cowiopoiiun  launched  a 
campaign  to  fund 
colposcopcs  because  of  its 
concern  over  the  links-  be- 
tween genual  wans  — an 
increasingly  .common  symp- 
tom of  sexually  transmitted 
disease  - and  cervical  cancer. 

Following  a colposcopy 
and  (he  results  of  a biopsy, 
the  infected  area  of  the  cervix 
can  be  vaporized  by  a laser 
beam  directed  by  a specialist 
using  a colposcope.  Bui  this  is 
not  the  only  remedy. 

The  procedure  is  usually 
performed  in  out-patient 
clinics  and  under  a local 
anaesthetic,  although  in  some 
cases  that  may  noi  be  consid- 
ered necessary.  Most  patients 
feel  well  enough  after  the 
treatment  to  walk  out  of  the 
clinic,  although  many  prefer 
to  lake  the  rest  of  the  day  off 
work,  and  some  may  be 
offered  a rest  bed.  The  conse- 
quences of  the  treatment  are 
slight  bleeding  and  a mild 
discharge,  which  may  last  for 
up  to  a fortnight. 

Professor  Frank  Sharp, 
professor  of  gynaecology  and 
obstetrics  at  Sheffield  Uni- 
versiiy.  was  one  of  the  first 
specialists  in  Britain  to  use 
the  laser.  “The  treatment  is 
9b  per  cent  effective  — that 
son  of  success  rate  anywhere 
in  medicine  is  extremely 
impressive",  he  said. 
Professor  Sharp  starts  his 


latest  intensive,  two-da  v 
training  course  in  the  use  ot 
colposcopes  J®r 

gynaecologists  at  the  North- 
ern General  Hospital  in  Shel- 
field  tomorrow.  A similar 
course  also  starts  tomorrow 
at  the  Roval  Northern  Hospi- 
tal in  London,  under  the 
direction  of  a leading- special- 
ist. Mr  Albert  Singer.  Those 
attending  the  courses  will 
later  improve  their  skills 
under  supervision  for  up  to 
nine  months  before  applying 
them  to  patients. 

“Every  woman  who  has  an 
abnormal  smear  deserves  a 
colposcopy".  Professor  Sharp 
said.  “We  can  tailor  its  use  to 
individuals  but  everything 
depends  on  women  having  a 
smear  test.” 

The  success  rate 
is  very  high 


After  laser  treatment,  pa- 
tients are  required  to  undergo 
two  follow-up  smear  tests  and 
two  further  colposcopies  at 
intervals  of  four  and  ten 
months  In  practice,  these 
checks  are  often  carried  out 
six  months  and  a year  after 
the  initial  treatment. 

At  many  NHS  hospitals, 
specialists  arc'  faced  with  a 
constant  demand  from  pa- 
tients referred  by  their  gener- 
al practitioners. 

“We  are  overwhelmed  by 
the  numbers".  Professor 
Sharp  said.  “We  dealt  with 
about  1.000  new  cases  last 
year  in  Sheffield.” 

A consultant  gynaecologist 
in  north  London  saidrThere 
is  an  urgent  need  for  more 
resources.  A waiting  time  of 
three  months  for  a 
colposcopy  is  becoming  more 
common.  “For  women  afraid 
that  they  may  have  cervical 
cancer,  that  is  an 
unacceptably  tong  period."

Chernobyl  is  not  Sizewell  c?.?1lthe 


- Because  the  whole  topic  arouses 
such  strong  feelings,  any  serious 
accident  at  a nuclear  power  plant 
is  bound  to  affect  nuclear  energy 
programmes  everywhere.  Once 
the  world  discovers  what  hap- 
pened at  the  Chernobyl  station, 
however,  there  is  good  chance  that  . 
it  will  turn  out  to  be  a peculiarly 
. Soviet  problem. 

- Although  it  - lags  behind  the 
United  States,  and  even  France, 

: the -Soviet  Union  ranks  as  a 
substantial  producer  of  nuclear 
electricity,  with  about  the' same 
number  of  nuclear  generating 
plants  as  Japan  and  two  and  a half 
1 times  more  than  Britain.  In  addi- 
tion. it  is  naturally  the  dominant 
partner  in  its  collaboration  with 
Eastern  Europe,  where  all  the 
j power  reactors  now  operating  are 
of  Soviet  design.  Yet  its  own 
I reactor  programme  has  evolved, 
by  international  standards,  in  an 
idiosyncratic  fashion. 

Like  their  Western  counter- 
parts. Soviet  scientists  and  en- 
gineers experimented  from  the  . 
j 1 950s  with  a variety  of  designs  for 
nuclear  power  plants.  From,  that 
process,  two  separate  types 
emerged  as  the  pillars  of  Soviet 
nuclear  electricity  supplies.  One  is 
a family  of  pressurized  water 
reactors  (PWRs),  known  locally  by 
their  Russian  initials  VVER  ana 
broadly  similar  to  the  kind 
commercially  prevalent  in  the 
West  (The  new  plant  the  Central 
Electricity  Generating  Board 
wants  to  build  at  Sizewell  ts  a 
PWR  and  so . was  the  ill-feted 
reactor  at  Three  Mile  Island.) 

Besides  making  them  in  two 
sizes  for  domestic  use,  the  Soviet 
Union  has  supplied  some  15 
WER  units  to  its  East  European 
neighbours,  as  well  as  two  to 
Finland,  and  is  either  building  or 
planning  others  in  places  as  far 
afield  as  Cuba,  Libya  and  North 
Korea. 

The  WER  reactors  have  gen- 
erally worked  well  once  in  service, 
and  are  intended  to  be  the 
mainstay  of  Soviet  nuclear  expan- 
sion for  the  rest  of  this  century. 
There  has  been  great  difficulty, 
however,  in  building  them  quickly 
enough.'  especially-  since  - 1983 
when  subsidence  and  bad  manage- 

The  Secretary-General  of  the 
United  Nations,  Javier  Perez,  de 
Cuellar,  will  arrive  for  talks  in 
London  next  month  amid  the 
worst  financial  crisis  his  organiza- 
tion has  laced.  Despite  the  im- 
plementation of  housekeeping 
economies,  there  is  talk  of  about 
2,000 jobs  being  lost  and  deep  cuts 
in  UN  spending  on  disaster  relief, 
peacekeeping  operations  and  anti- 
drugs  activities.  With  no  long- ' 
term  solution  in  sight,  the 
implications  for  tbrftitwroffoe  ' 
UN  and  its  agencies,  less  than  a 
year  after  the  organization  cele- 
brated its  40th  birthday,  are  likely  ' 
to  be  profound. 

The  UN  is  funded  by  the  159 
member  countries,  each  of  which 
pays  a percentage  of  the  budget 
according  to  its  means.  Britain 
contributes  just  under  5 per  cent, 
less  than  France  and  West  Ger- 
many. and  less  than  half  that  paid 
by  Japan.  By  far  the  biggest  single 
contributor  is  the  United  States, 
upon  which  the  UN  relies  for  no 
less  than  a,  quarter  of  its  annual 
requirement 

Trouble  has  been  building  up 
for  years,  mainly  because  of  the 
tendency  among  some  govern- 
ments to  withhold  their  contribu- 
tions or  at  least  to  be  slow  in 
paying.  The  Soviet  bloc  has  been 
one  of  the  worst  offenders,  refus- 
ing for  political  reasons  to  pay 
towards  UN  peacekeeping  opera- 
tions among  other  things.  But  by 
the  end  of  last  year  as  many  as  18 
states  were  in  arrears  and  Britain 
claims  to  be  the  only  permanent 
member  of  the  Security  Council 
never  to  have  defaulted  on  its 
financial  obligations. 

The  slide  towards  bankruptcy 
has  been  accelerated  by  two  pieces 
of  US  legislation  during  the  sec- 
ond half  of  <985  — the  Kassebaum 
Amendment  of  last  August  and 
the  Gramm-Rudman  Act  in 
December.  The  former  demanded 
that  the  American  contribution 
should  be  reduced  from  25  to  20 
per  cent  next  October,  unless  a 


ment  combined  to  cause  serious 
damage  to  the  main  WER  assem- 
bly line  at  Volgodonsk.  As  a result, 
nuclear  capacity  in  the  USSR  is 
likely  to  fell  almost  40  per  cent 
below  its  planned  levels  by  1990. 

One  result  of  this  delay  is  that 
all  the  more  weight  has  come  to 
rest  on  the  second  pillar  in  the 
Soviet  nuclear  power  programme: 
the  RBMK  reactor.  These  re- 
actors. one  of  which  was  involved 
in  the  Chernobyl  accident,  are 
very  different.  Their  low-enriched 
uranium  foel  is  cooled  by  ordinary 
water  — as  in  a PWR  — but  is  set 
in  a graphite  moderator  — as  in  a 
British  Magnox  or  advanced  gas- 
cooled  reactor  plant  The  RBMK 
fuel  elements  are  distributed 
among  no  fewer  than  1.693  sepa- 
rate vertical  channels,  indepen- 
dently cooled,  in  each  of  which  the 
fuel  can  be  exchanged  without 
shutting  down  the  reactor  itself. 

Nothing  quite  like  the  RBMK 
has  ever  been  built  for  commercial 
electricity  purposes . outside  the 
Soviet  Union.  Indeed,  the  design 
is  so  cumbersome  that  Its  adop- 


tion by  Soviet  planners  can  only 
be  explained  on  the  basis  of  its 
excellent  qualities  as  a machine 
for  producing  not  only  electricity 
but  also  plutonium  for  civil  or 
military  use. 

Partly  because  of  the  delays  to 
the  VVER  programme,  RBMK 
reactors  still  supply  the  bulk  of 
Soviet  nuclear  electricity.  Since 
the  first  of  the  full-scale  RBMK 
units  was  completed  in  1973 
outside  Leningrad,  a total  of  15 
have  entered  service  at  five  sites: . 
four  each  at  Leningrad,  Kursk  and 
Chernobyl  two  at  Smolensk  and. 
most  recently,  one  upgraded  unit 
at  Ignalino  in  Lithuania.  Together 
they  provide  60  per  cent  of  the 
Soviet  Union's  nuclear  generating 
capacity,  which  in  turn  produces 
some  1 1 per  cent  of  the  country's 
electric  power.  And  15  more 
RBMKs  are  still  under  construc- 
tion or  os  Soviet  drawing-boards. 
If  the  Chernobyl  accident  reveals 
some  basic  flaw  in  the  RBMK 
design,  therefore,  it  will  strike  a 
heavy  blow  to  the  whole  national 
electricity  system. 


Henry  Stanhope  on  the  financial  crisis 
threatened  by  cuts  in  American  aid 

Autumn  famine 
the  United 


system  of  “weighted  voting"  was 
adopted  so  that  those  who  paid 
most  money  would  have  the 
greatest  say  — on  financial  mat- 
ters anyway.  The  latter  ordered 
immediate  cuts  across  the  board 
in  US  federal  spending  with  a view 
to  balancing  the  budget  by  1991. 

So  far  the  US  has  withheld  more 
than  $33m.  in  addition  to  $2m  it 
was  dinging  on  to  for  other 
reasons.  But  what  most  worries 
the  UN  now  is  the  order  of  cuts 
threatened  in  October  when  the 
US  administration  enters  its  next 
financial  year,  with  both  the 
Kassebaum  and  Gramm-Rudman 
restrictions  taking  effect 

Perez  de  Cuellar  has  already 
ordered  a number  of  economies, 
cutting  down  on  travel  and  the 
number  of  consultants  for  in- 
stance. which  should  save  SlOm. 
Some  departments  have  also  been 
threatened  with  a 10  per  cent  cut 
in  their  budgets.  But  reserve  funds 
had  already  been  used  up  by  last 
December  and  with  the  crisis 
likely  to  deepen  in  the  autumn,  the 
UN  is  having  to  face  up  to  some 
hard  decisions. 

Congress  is  more  interested  in 
bringing  pressure  on  the  UN  to 
pul  its  house  in  order  than  to  save 
itself  hard  cash.  Congressmen 
were  deeply  affronted  by  a UN 
proposal  (since  deferred)  to  spend 
S70m  on  a new  conference  centre 
in  Addis  Ababa  at  a time  when 


Ethiopians  were  starving.  A simi- 
lar project  to  build  a centre  in 
Bangkok  was  also  held  to  be 
totally  unnecessary  — as  was  a 
proposal  to  hold  three  special 
conferences,  away  from  New 
York,  on  southern  Africa.  (The 
additional  cost  of  staging  them 
away  from  headquarters  was  in 
itself  equal  to  the  total  annual 
contribution  to  the  UN  of  its  40 
poorest  members.)  Big  financial 
decisions  need  a two-thirds  major- 
ity in  the  UN.  But  two-thirds 
could  be  made  up  by  the  106 
poorest  nations,  whose  combined 
contributions  come  to  less  than  2 
per  cent  of  the  total  budget

We  still  know  too-  tittle  about 
events  at  Chernobyl  to  assess  that 
risk.  All  that  seems  certain  is  that 
there  has  been  catastrophic  dam- 
age to  at  least  some  of  the  fuel  in 
one  of  the  station's  four  reactors, 
accompanied  by  a fire  involving 
graphite  as  well  as  fuel  materials. 

The  most  obvious  cause  would 
bea  loss  of  coolant,  allowing  fuel 
in  some  of  the  pressurized  chan- 
nels to  overheat,  burn  and  ignite 
more  fuel  and  the  surrounding 
moderator.  But  the  large  number 
of  independent  cooling  circuits  in 
an  RBMK  makes  it  hard  to  believe 
that  *his  could  happen  in  routine 
circumstances  without  extraor- 
dinary negligence  on  the  part  of  its 
operators,  it  may  be,  therefore, 
that  the  accident  began  during 
some  special  operation,  such  as  an 
exchange  of  fuel  elements  while 
the  plant  was  still  running. 

In  any  case,  one  important 
consideration  is  that  what  has 
happened  in  the  Ukraine  seems 
unlikely  to  have  direct  technical 
repercussions  on  specific  power 
reactors  outside  the  Soviet  Union. 
Ostensibly  because  of  its  construc- 
tion requirements,  but  presum- 
ably also  because  of  its  plutonium- 
producing  qualities,  the  RBMK 
design  has  Dever  been  offered  to 
other  countries. 

None  of  that  will  prevent  waves 
of  justified  or  unjustified  alarm 
about  nuclear  power  spreading 
across  the  world  from  Chernobyl- 
Nor  does  it  by  any  means  rule  out 
the  potential  need  for  other  coun- 
tries to  learn  important  lessons. 
Any  reactor  can  experience  some 
sort  of  loss-of-coolant  accident. 
And  there  are  reactors  in  a number 
of  other  countries,  including  Brit- 
ain, which  use  graphite  as  a 
moderator  or  are  designed  for  on- 
load refuelling. 

But  the  peculiar  combination  of 
characteristics  in  the  RBMK  type 
may  yet  be  that  it  will  be 
somewhat  easier  to  contain  at  least 
the  technical  ramifications  of  this 
accident  within  the  borders  of  a 
single  country  than  it  has  been  to 
confine  its  radioactive  feli-ouL

port  The  EEC  countries,  which 
between  them  pay  about  20  per 
cent  of  the  budget,  have  made  it

up  with  the  solutions  that  might

options  and  a number  of  ideas  are 
already  under  discussion,  includ- 
ing one  that  would  limit  the 
contributions  of  any  one  member 
to  10  or  13  per  cent  Most, 
however,  look  likely  to  mean 
higher  payments  from  other  mem-

more  control  over  deciaion-tak-

reacted  with  a typical  lack  of  it 
The  only  point  on  which  everyone 
agrees  is  that  if  the  committee  of  18 
is  to  reach  a consensus,  and  then 
win  acceptance  of  its  findings  at

Why  Rome  is  turning  on  Reagan 


Rome 

Since  last  autumn,  an  almost 
unprecedented  bitterness  has 
marked  the  relationship  between 
the  United  States  and  Italy.  And, 
as  if  to  underline  the  unhappy 
truth  that  a close  liaison  is  under 
real  Strain,  both  sides  maintain 
that  they  are  the  ones  remaining 
true  to  their  joint  principles. 
“Under the  leadership  of  Bettino 
CraxL"  the  prime  minister’s 
friends  repeat,  "the  Italians  will 
never  move  away  from  their 
iovahy.to  the  Atlantic  alliance." 

‘But  they  have'  been  abruptly 
reminded  by  the  Americans  that 
83  per  cent  of  the  people  in  the  US 
approved  of  the  attack  on  Libya, 
which  the  Italians  continue  to 
deplore.  Craxi  was  particularly 
angered  by  Washington  press 
reports  that  he  was  one  of  the 
European  leaders  who  gave  secret 
support  to  the  bombing  while 
publicly  condemning  it 

Italy  provides  the  main  Medi- 
terranean bases  for  the  Sixth  Fleet 
as  well  as  a series  of  Nato  and 
other  American  bases,  including 
the  cruise  missiles  at  Comiso.  In 
fact  when  that  agreement  was 
made  — with  remarkably  little,  re- 
action. despite  the  faa  that  Italy 
has  die  western  world’s  largest 
Communist  party  — there  was  a 
strong  Italian  feeling  that  the  least 
they  could  now  expea  from  foe 
Americans  was  to  be  treated  with 
more  respect.  . . 

This  desire  for  change  m foe 
rclationshipis  port  ofa  new  Italian 


self-confidence.  The  country  is 
growing  used  to  political  stability. 
Despite  frequent  quarrels  within 
the  five-party  coalition  govern- 
ment Craxi  has  only  offered  his 
resignation  once  — and  that  was 
when  a division  occurred  overflow 
to  behave  towards  foe  U& 

That  minor  crisis  followed  in 
the  wake  of  last  autumn’s  AchiUe 
Lauro  affair,  in  foe  course  of 
which  an  American  passenger  was 
murdered.  In  foe  first  serious  dash 
between  Rome  and  Washington, 
the  contention  arose  over  the 
American  action  in  forcing  down 
on  Italian  soil  foe  Egyptian  air- 
craft taking  foe  ship's  hijackers  to 
Tunisia.  Among  them  was  tbe 
plot's  alleged  mastermind.  Abu 
Abbas. 

The  Italians  are  still  angry  that 
foe  Americans  very  nearly  took 
Abu  Abbas  by  force.  In  reply,  foe 
Americans  point  to  their  having 
fulfilled  all  the  requirements  laid 
down  in  foe  new  extradition  treaty 
between  foe  two  countries. 

Ttie  incident  has  marked  foe 
quarrel  over  the  bombing  of 
Libya.  The  US  ambassador  to 
Italy.  Maxwell  Rabh.  has  done  his 
best  to  explain  that  once  foe  US 
makes  up  its  mind  to  do  some- 
thing that  something  is  done;  The 
Italians  have  a twofold  reply. 
First,  they  claim  that  they  know 
rather  more  than  the  Americans 
about  how  to  deal  with  terrorism, 
having  managed  to  beat  it  at  home 
without  resorting  to  repression. 
Second.  Craxi  believes  that  inter- 


national terrorism  will  not  be 
halted  by  bombing,  but  by  lower- 
ing tension  within  the  Mediterra- 
nean area.  Last  year  he  tried  to 
convince  the  moderate  Arab  pow- 
ers to  hold  an  international  con- 
ference on  the  Palestinian 
question,  with  the  Israelis  and  tbe 
PLO’s  Yasser  Arafat  also  present. 
Bui  that  plan  literally  went  up  in 
smoke  last  October,  when  the 
Israelis  bombed  Arafat’s  Tunisian 
headquarters. 

The  attack  briefly  preceded  foe 
hijacking  of  foe  Achilie  Lauro,  and 
if  it  was  only  coincidentally  the 
precursor  of  foe  hijack,  it  is  now 
seen  here  as  foe  precedent  fol- 
lowed by  the  US  against  Libya. 

The  question  of  Italy’s  policy 
towards  foe  Arabs  is  less  clear-cuL 
There  was  dissent  within  foe 
government  over  the  wisdom  of 
trying  to  design  a Mediterranean 
policy  which  was  not  in  line  with 
what  foe  Americans  expected. 
There  was  also  criticism  of  the 
way  in  which  Giulio  AndreottL 
foe  foreign  minister,  not  only 
placed  great  importance  on  Italy's 
relationship  with  the  Arabs,  but 
also  insisted  on  maintaining  di- 
alogue wifo  Syria  and  Libya.  He. 
however,  agrees  with  tbe  prime 
minister  that  allies  can  best  serve 
foe  alliance  by  making  an  active 
contribution  to  solving  foe  prob- 
lems in  their  own  area. 

A lot  has  also  been  made  of  foe 
differences  between  Andreom  and 
defence  minister  Giovanni 
Spadolin^  who  briefly  led  his 


Tbe  Russian  radioactive  plume 
spreading  across  Scandinavia  is 
also  casting  its  shadow  over 
British  politics.  The  seriousness  of 
the  accident  is  bound  to  intensify 
the  political  polarization  on  nu- 
clear power  currently  taking  place 
in.  this- country.  Nuclear  power 
politics  fc  fast  becoming  fissile. 

In  Httte  more  than  a month,  two 
senior  political  figures,  John 
Wakeham  and  John  Cunningham, 
have  become  involved  in  serious 
public  rows  about  nuclear  power. 

Wakeham.  the  government's  chief 
whip,  has  a 1Z000  majority  in  his 
constituency  of  Colchester  South 
and  Maldon  that  looks  vulnerable 
to  the  Alliance.  A proposal  to 
dump  radioactive  waste  at 
Brad  well  jn  foe  constituency  was 
immediately  seized  upon  by  his 
SDP  opponent  as  just  tbe  issue  to 
tip  foe  balance.  Not  sutprisingly, 

Wakeham  has  become  a convert 
to  the  Nimby  (not-in-my-back-  • 

. yard)  principle.  A chief  whip  who 
thinks  radioactive  waste  is  too 
dangerous  for  his  constituency 
will  find  it  hard  to  persuade  other 
Tory  MPs  it  is  safe  for  theirs. 

Michael  Brown  has  already  ' 
threatened  to  resign  and  force  a 
by-election  if  his  Humberside 
constituency  of  Brigg  and 
Cleethorpes  is  chosen  and  other 
Tory  MPS  threatened  with  radio- 
active waste  dumps  in  their 
constituencies  fed  the  same.  Wil- 
liam Wakiergrave,  foe  minister 
responsible  for  making  the  final 
decision,  was  left  in  no  doubt 
about  the  strength  of : feeling 
among  Bedfordshire  MPs  during  a 
recent  visit  to  Elstow. 

In  March,  Tribune  carried  a 
sharp,  if  coded,  attack  on  Neil 
Kinnock.  written  by  Peter  Hain, 
vice-chairman  of  the  Labour  Co- 
ordinating Committee.  Hain's  at- 
tack sounded  a familiar  and  — 
given  the  quarter  it  came  from  — 
dangerous  refrain,  warning 
Kinnock  against  “drift  by  foe 
leadership  away  from  positions 
and  decisions  democratically  de- 
rided by  conference". 

The  Labour  leader's  crime  was 
to  have  supported  a vigorous 
defence  of-nuclear  power  by  John 
Cunningham,  the  party’s  environ- 
ment' spokesman.  At  its'  1985 
conference.  Labour  carried  by 
over  60  per  cent  a motion  calling 
for  “a  halt  to  foe  nuclear  power 
programme  and  a phasing  out  of 
all  existing  plants".  Cunningham, 
whose  constituency  includes 
Sellafield,  has  subsequently  made 
it  clear  op  a number  of  occasions 
that  he  will  not  tie  bound  by  this 
decision.  Kinpock  has  joined  him 
-in  foer commitment- 
“''Meanwhile  foe  debate  within 
the  Labour  Party  continues  to 
intensify,  ks  Scottish  conference' 
recently  passed  a resolution  call- 
ing for  a -mothballing  of  Torness  , 
and  other  uncompleted  nuclear 
plants.  This  prompted  a fierce  ' 
counter-blast  from  Cunningham  Alliance. 


in  Tribune  in  which  he  accused 
midear  critics  in  the  Labour  Party 
of  being  “careless  of  those  thou- 
sands of  workers  and  their  fam- 
ilies dependent  on  the  industry0  ■ 

All  qf  which  should  be  music  to 
the  ears  of  Alliance  candidates  in 
both  north  and  south.  So  far,  the 
cautious  compromise  position  on 
nuclear  enemy  agreed  by  the 
Liberals  and  SDP  before  foe  1983 
election  has  held  up  well  There 
has  been  no  public  sparring  on  the 
issue  and  very  little  private  dis- 
cussion either  within  or  between 
tbe  parties. 

However,  this,  period  of  calm 
may  now  be  coming  to  an  end. 
There  are  currents  in  both  parties 
pressing  for  a more  positive 
commitment  to  nuclear  power. 
The  recently  reconstituted  SDP 
energy  committee  lists  among  its 
members  both  Robert  Madennan, 
the  MP  for  Caithness  and  Suther- 
land, which  includes  Doonreay, 
and  John  Lyons,  the  power 
workers’  leader  and  long  time  pro- 
. nuclear  campaigner.  Alliance 
split-seekers  have  long  looked  to 
this  issue  as  a profitable  bunting 
ground.  As  the  political  tem- 
perature on  nuclear  matters 
continues  to  rise  they  may  well 
find  better  sport  than  in  the  past. 

And  tbe  temperature  does  seem 
likely  to  rise.  The  Russian  in- 
cident, the  recent  spate  of  ac- 
cidents at  Sellafield,  the  search  for 
sites  for  radioactive  waste  dumps, 
and  the  publication  of  the  Sizewell 
report  later  in  the  year  will  all  fuel 
the  fires  of  debate.  Furthermore, 
fo.ere  are  distinct  signs  that  the 
Central  Electricity  .Generating 
Board  is  becoming  uneasy  about 
the  outcome  of  the  next  election. 
Its  fears  may  be  warranted  in  that 
all  foe  opposition  parties  are 
firmly  opposed  to  the  pressurized 
water  reactor  obsessively  favoured 
by  the  Board’s  chairman  and  foe 
Prime  Minister.  The  current  spate 
of  board-inspired  articles,  tbe 
shifting  ground  ofits  case  for  foe 
PWR  and  its  increasing  pressure 
for  fast  decisions  on  foe  rest  of  the 
programme  are  all  moves  de- 
signed to  head  off  worse  trouble  in 
foe  future.  - . 

But  they  may  not  be  wise.  The 
chief  success  of  the  nuclear  in- 
dustry has  been  to  keep  itself  oat 
of  foe  party-political  debate.  The 
political  parties  have  been  weak 
and  ineffectual  directors  of  energy 
policy,  no  match  at  all  for  the 
energy  industries  before  whose 
Whitehall  lobby  they  have  all 
fallen  helpless  victim.  A political 
consensus,  largely  founded  on 
nuclear  industry  half-truths,  has 
stifled  serious  political  discussion 
of  nfadear  power.  Now  that  this 
consensus  is  collapsing,  and  public 
opinion  is  moving  firmly  against 
more  nuclear  power,  the  electricity 
board's  efforts  to  force  foe  issue 
may  only  intensify  the  debate.

of  it  about 


Republican  party  out  of  Craxfs 
government  over  foe  Abbas  affair. 

-.  Spadolini  has  been  proclaiming 
that  terrorism  must  not  be  met 
with  counter-violence.  But  he  may 
well  have  a problem  if  allegations 
that  Italian  radar  failed  to  pick  up 
the  American  bombardment  of 
Tripoli  are  proved  correct 

It  is  within  Italy  itself  that  foe 
greatest  repercussions  of  foe  Lib- 
yan crisis  mil  be  felt  Many 
politicians  appear  either  not  to 
have  understood  that  something 
has  happened  to  Italy  internation- 
ally because  of  its  clash  with  foe 
US,  or  they  do  realize  and  dislike 
iLTbey  may  also  be  inviting 
trouble  by  their  reaction  to  the 
need  to  show  that  they  are  strongly 
opposed  to  terrorism. 

Italy’s  first  arrest  after  foe 
bombing  was  of  a former  Libyan 
diplomat  who,  il  is  alleged, 
worked  with  a Libyan  Arab  in- 
volved a year  ago  in  a plot  to  shoot 
the  American  ambassador.  His 
accuser,  however,  is  another  Lib- 
yan who  spent  a year  in  prison  for 
bis  involvement  in  foe  same  plot 
and  has  now  declared  he  was  a 
CIA  agent  all  along- 

It  would  be  sad  if  internal 
politics  and  judicial  errors  should 
overshadow  the  attempt  at 
conducting  a recognizably  Italian 
policy  in  foe  Mediterranean.

The  other  day  I turned  on  foe 
radio  and  found  myself  listening 
to  an  interview  which  went  some- 
thing like  this . . . 

“And  your  committee  has  defi- 
nite proof  that  it  is  on  the 
increase?" 

“Oh,  definitely.  Twenty  years 
ago  foe  statistics  were  not-al  all 
disturbing,  but  now'it  is  threaten- 
ing to  get  out  of  hand." 

“Has.  it  reached  epidemic 
proportions  yet?" 

“No,  but  unless  action  is  taken 
soon,  we  fear  that  it  will” 

“What  kind  of  action  are  you 
calling  for?" 

“Official  action,  and  the  sooner 
foe  better.  The  government  must 
pot  teeth  into  existing  legislation, 
but  above  all  it  must  make  more 
money  available  to  the  people  in 
foe  field."

versations like  h yourself.  The 
people  concerned  are  caring,  con- 
cerned . and.  aware  — and  you 
haven't  tbe  faintest  idea  what 
they're  talking  about  It  could  be 
anything:  drugs,  butter,  aircraft 
noise,  cyclists’  deaths  on  foe  road, 
child  abuse  or  even  calling  people 
by  their  first  name  as  soon  as  you 
have  been  introduced. 

If  you  miss  the  opening  ex- 
change, when  they  identify  foe 
subject,  you  might  as  well  miss  the 
whole  interview.  It’s  like  switch- 
ing on  the  test  match  to  get  the 
score,  and  hitting  one  of  those, 
patches  where  foe  commentators 
forget  to  mention  it. 

Here's  another  common 
conversation: 

“It  is,  quite  literally,  priceless. 
There  is  nothing  else  fike  it  in  foe . 
country." , 

■ “What  would  be  the  effect  if  it 
did  leave  Britain?" 

“I  think  Britain’s  heritage 
would  be  irreparably  poorer.  It  has 
become  part  of  our  life,  over  these 
many  years,  and  it  is  quite 
inconceivable  that  we  should  ever 
be  without  it." 

“Can  foe  money  be  raised  in 
time?" 

“1  think  so.  But  il  isn't  foe 
money  that  is  so  important  as 
simply,  making  foe  public  aware  of 
foe  danger.  If  we  can  alert  foe 
public  to  foe  ride,  then  half  foe 
battle  is  won."  . 

What  are  they  battling  foi?  A 
rare  butterfly?  An  old  Italian 
painting?  One  of  Brand’s  iron 
hulks?  Sir  Roy  Strong's  mous- 
tache? It  simply  isn't  possible  to 
tell  from  foe  words,  because  they 
never  repeat  what  they  are  talking 
abouL  You  get  one  chance,  ^and 


that's  it.  The  truth  is,  it's  not 
worth  listening  to  anyway.  Most 
interviews  on  TV  and  radio  are 
identikit  conversations,  virtually 
interchangeable  after  the  opening 
sentence. 

“What  attracted  you  to  ft  in  foe 
first  place?" 

“Well  actually,  a friend  asked 
me  along  and  I-  thought  I'd  have  a 
go,  just  out  of  curiosity,  and  after 
that  it  just  snowballed." 

“And  now  you  are  Britain’s 

leading  exponent."  , 

“WeU,  1 wouldn’t  say  that  * 
exactly!  But  I have  been  very,  very 
lucky.” 

“Some  people  would  say  i(  was 
rather  a,  well  strange  way  of 
spending  most  of  your  time." 

.“That’s  because  they’ve  never 
tried  it.  It’s  a wonderful  way,  not 
just  of  enjoying  myself  but  of 
meeting  lots  of  people.  1 can’t 
imagine  bow  I ever  got  along 
without  it” 

Falconry?  Nude  bang-gliding? 
Dancing  the  tango?  Doing  com- 
puter portraits  of  famous  people? 
Walking  on  stilts?  Listening  to 
radio  conversations  and  trying  to 
guess  wfaat  they're  about? 

I think  it  might  alarm  foe 
average  expert  if  he  realized  that 

when  be  is  talking,  it  is  impossible  * 
to  work  out  fiis  field  of  expertise, 
because  he  sounds  like  all  the 
other  experts.  Not  foal  you  have 
to  be  .an  expert  — you  can  be  a 
total  outsider  caught  up  in  some 
weiid  disaster .. . 

“People  were  very  calm.  There 
was  no  real  panicking  at  all.” 

“But  you  must  have  been  very

Earthquake?  Train  crash?

NUCLEAR  PARANOIA  I 


Nuclear  power  is,  to  many,  an 
unknown  quantity  which  in- 
spires fear.  So  is  the  Soviet 
Union.  Accordingly,  the 
.combination  of  the  two  in 
what  is  now  believed  to  be  the 
world’s  biggest  nuclear  disaster 
has  consequences  which  reach 
far  beyond  the  vicinity  of 
Chernobyl  in  the  Ukraine 
where  the  accident  happened. 

Even  without  Chernobyl, 
the  Soviet  Union  was  facing  an 
image  problem.  The  new 
generation  of  Soviet  leaders, 
headed  by  Mr  Gorbachov,  had 
stated  its  intention  of  rectify- 
ing matters  with  a full-blooded 
public  relations  campaign. 
They  had  called  for  more 
access  to  information,  more 
respect  for  the  “human  factor" 
- including  safety  at  work  and 
a nod  towards  environmental 
considerations.  The  circum- 
stances surrounding  the 
Chernobyl  accident  show  that 
no  real  progress  has  been 
made. 

What 


is  more 
disturbing,there  is  nothing  in 
the  way  the  accident  was 
handled  by  the  Soviet  authori- 
ties to  suggest  that  it  would 
have  been  made  public  unless 
the  radioactive  cloud  had 
alerted  the  Scandinavian 
countries  to  the  fact  of  a large 
radiation  leak  somewhere  ra 
the  Western  USSR. 

So  far  as  the  much-vaunted 
“human  factor”  is  concerned, 
progress  appears  to  have  been 
just  as  negligible.  If  reports  by 
specialists  such  as  Dr 
Medvedev  are  true,  the  major- 
ity of  Soviet  nuclear  power 
stations  are  built  without  the 
son  of  safety  precautions  that 
are  not  only  standard,  but 
obligatory  in  the  West. 
Chernobyl  1986  may  prove  in 
retrospect  to  have  been  what 
Three  Mile  Island  was  not  — 
and  so  far  no  Western  nuclear 
mishap  could  be  — because  of 
the  stringent  safety  measures 
that  are  observed. 

Until  now,  the  Soviet 
Union's  apparent  disregard  for 
human  safety  — in  the  way  it 
builds  its  nuclear  power  sta- 
tions. where  it  sites  .them  (near 


centres  of  population)  and  the 
lack  ofinfonnation  it  provides 
when  something  subsequently 
goes  wrong  — could  perhaps 
have  been  dismissed  as  an 
internal  matter  for  the  Soviet 
authorities.  It  can  be  dismissed 
■ as  such  no  longer. 

The  fact  that  neither  the 
Soviet  Union's  East  bloc  allies 
nor  the  countries  of  Scandina- 
via — both  of  which  were 
affected  by  abnormal  levels  of 
radiation  after  the  accident  — 
were  informed  about  the  ac- 
cident until  their  own  in- 
struments detected  it 
demonstrates  a remarkably 
cavalier  attitude  to  the  in- 
terests of  other  countries  and 
other  people  which  is  intol- 
erable from  a country  which 
aspires  to  the  status  of  a 
nuclear  superpower.  Such  a 
status  rests  not  only  on  might, 
but  also  on  responsibility. 

Moscow's  response  to 
. Chernobyl  exhibited  no  sense 
of  responsibility,  either  to  its 
own  people  or  to  its  neigh- 
bours. And  if  the  Soviet  Union 
cannot  be  trusted  to  behave 
responsibly  in  a matter  such  as 
this,  what  prospect  is  there  for 
it  to  show  responsibility  in  the 
wider  world  of  international 
relations?  Once  again;  the 
judgement  of  the  Soviet 
leadership  — this  time  a new, 
younger  and  ostensibly  more 
flexible  leadership  — has  been 
revealed  as  flawed  and  worse. 

In  the  next  few  years  there 
will  be  untold  economic  reper- 
cussions. The  Western  part  of 
the  USSR,  including  the 
Ukraine,  has  the  country's 
densest  concentration  of  heavy 
industry.  Soviet  industry  is  — 
despite  attempts  to  cut 
consumption  — still  a prof- 
ligate. user  of-energy.  Yet  the 
Western  pail  of  the  country  is 
the  poorest  in  terms  of  natural 
energy  resources.  The  answer 
was  — and  is  planned  to  be 
until  the  year  2000  — to  build 
dozens  of  nuclear  power  sta- 
tions. 

If  one  of  these  is  now  out  of 
commission,  the  impact  on 
Soviet  industrial  development  . 
will  be  serious.  If  the  accident 


prompts  a reassessment  of  the 
whole  nuclear  power  pro- 
gramme, as  it  should,  Mr 
Gorbachov's  ambitious 
development  plans  are  bound 
to  be  set  back.  This  means 
hard  choices  for  the  leader- 
ship. Can  it  afford  to  reduce 
energy  exports—  and  therefore 
hard  currency  revenue  — in 
pursuit  of  its  development 
programme?  Alternatively, 
can  h afford  the  dashed  hopes 
of  the  public  that  would  result 
from  an  economic  slowdown? 

A second  effect  of  the  ac- 
cident will  be  increased  sup- 
port for  the  anti-nuclear  and 
environmental  movements 
not  only  in  the  West  but  in  the 
Soviet  Union  and  Eastern 
Europe  as  well.  In  the  Eastern 
bloc,  a fledgling  environ- 
mental movement  now  has 
evidence  that  nuclear  power 
stations  can , under  certain 
circumstances  (Soviet  and 
East  European  circumstances), 
present  risks  to  the  civilian 
population.  This  will 
encourage  the  growth  of 
environmental  pressure 
groups  in  countries  where  non- 
official  pressure  groups  are 
discouraged  The  potentially 
destabilizing  effect  of  this 
development  should  not  be 
underestimated 

For  the  lime  being,  the 
Soviet  authorities  could  mini- 
mire the  significant  damage  — 
to  their  reputation  at  home 
and  abroad,  to  their  energy 
programme  and  to  social 
stability  - by  making  public 
concern  for  nuclear  safety  its 
own  cause.  In  addition  to  the 
measures  outlined  below,  they 
could  launch,  or  rather  're- 
launch. a programme  for 
truthful  information  even 
when  it  includes  bad  news. 

But  whatever  they  decide  to 
do,  Chernobyl  where,  accord- 
ing to  the  Soviet  announce- 
ment “there  were  casualties", 
is  likely  to  remain  in  the 
international  memory  as  a 
symbol  of  Moscow's  bad  faith 
with  the  world.  And  Mr 
Gorbachov,- for  all  his  smiling 
bonhomie,  will  be  unable  to 
erase  that  image. 


NUCLEAR  PARANOIA  II 


The  worldwide  nuclear  power 
industry  has  always  dreaded  a 
catastrophic  power  station  ac- 
cident of  the  kind  that  has  now 
taken  place.  For  the  realisation 
of  that  nightmare  is  bound  to 
provide  ammunition  for  anti- 
nuclear groups  to  play  on 
latent  public  fears.  Indeed,  the 
• chairman  of  Britain's  Cam- 
paign for  Nuclear  Disarma- 
ment was  quick  to  fire  off  a 
round  yesterday,  charging  that 
such  a disaster  could  happen  at 
any  nuclear  power  station  in 
Britain. 

Such  reactions  are  hardly 
rational.  In  the  absence  of  a 
full  explanation  of  the  causes 
of  the  Chernobyl  accident,  to 
state  that  it  could  be  repealed 
in  Britain's  first  and  second 
generation  gas-cooled  reactors, 
which  are  of  a fundamentally 
- different  design,  is  just  to  say 
that  nuclear  fission  can  pro- 
duce catastrophic  effects.  Thai 
is  common  ground  even  to  the 
most  Panglossian  advocates  of 
nuclear  eneigy  and  is  the 
essential  starling  point  for  all 
nuclear  engineering. 

The  development  of  that 
sophisticated  industry  over  the 
past  25  years  , which  still 
continues  apace,  is  in  large 
measure  a question  of  making 


the  risk  ever  more  remote  by  a 
combination  of  design,  en- 
gineering standards  and  vigi- 
lance. In  democratic  Western 
Europe,  the  United  States  and 
Japan,  it  is  also  a matter  of 
building  in  greater  safety  mar- 
gins, more  layers  of  failsafe 
mechanisms  and  greater  pro- 
visions for  containing  the  ef- 
fects of  accidents  than  . 
scientists  and  accountants 
might  professionally  think 
necessary,  in  order  to  satisfy 
public  fears. 

Soviet  secrecy  has  cut  its 
nuclear  industry  off  from  the 
exchange  of  information  that 
contributes  so  greatly  to  refin- 
ing design  and  practice.  It  is 
not  for  instance,  a member  of 
the  Institute  of  Nuclear  Power 
Operations,  the  international 
club  that  maintains  databanks . 
on  all  incidents  in  nuclear 
power  stations.  It  acts  as  a. 
clearing  house  for  even  the 
smallest  mishaps  and  in- 
vestigation reports  to  be 
circularised  day  by  day  around 
the  globe. 

A disaster  on  such  a scale  to 
any  nuclear  plant  anywhere  is 
nonethless  likely  to  have  a 
substantial  impact  on  the 
world  nuclear  power  industry. 

It  is  already  suffering  from  a - 


dearth  of  orders  due  to  the 
economic  recession  as  much  as 
the  psychological  fallout  of  the 
near  disaster  at  Three  Mile 
Island.  Problems  of  nuclear 
waste  have  aroused  public 
fears  about  nuclear  power  in 
Britain  and  Germany  even 
though  power  station  opera- 
tion has  proved  trouble-free 
for  many  years. 

The  nuclear  power  debate  in 
Britain  was  revived  by  the 
plan  to  switch  from  gas-cooled 
to  pressurized  water  reactors. 
The  long-delayed  Sizewell  in- 
quiry report  and  decision  must 
already  have  been  affected  by 
the  changing  economics 
brought  by  the  collapse  of  oil 
prices,  however  temporary  . 
The  Soviet  accident  is  at  least 
likely  to  cause  a further  delay 
At  present,  it  does  not  suggest 
any  direct;  technical  effect  on 
the  choice  of  reactor. 

It  is  still  vital  that  the  causes 
of  the  Chernobyl  accident  and 
their  possible  implications  for 
nuclear  design  and  safety  stan- 
dards are  learnt  as  soon  as 
possible.  The  Soviet  Union 
should  open  its  own  inquiries 
into  the  causes  and  medical 
effects  rapidly  and  folly  via  the 
International  Atomic  Energy1 
Authority. 


THE  NEWEST  NEW  REALIST 


Mr  Bill  Jordan's  accession  to 
the  presidency'  of  the  Amal- 
gamated Union  of  Engineering 
Workers  looks  like  further 
evidence  that  the  Thatcher 
years  are  seeing  a deep  and 
probably  irreversible  shift  in 
attitudes  towards  economic 
enterprise.  Yesterday  the  very 
stuff  of  his  rhetoric  was  the 
marriage  of  employment  and 
business  success. 

From  his  witness  of  the 
rapid  industrial  decline  of  the 
West  Midlands,  Mr  Jordan  has 
emerged  sounding  not  unlike  a 
Chamberlainite  Tory,  greedy 
for  a renewal  of  private  wealth 
creation  — on  condition  it 
brings  jobs  and  a fair  share  for 
his  members.  He  is.  it  seems,  a 
man  for  the  season,  a co- 
adjutor of  Mr  Eric  Hammond 
in  the  "new  realism' . and  so 
his  election  is  welcome. 

But  how  stable  is  this  new 
realism?  At  limes  it  looks 
distinctly  like  the  old  parlour 
game  of  “let's  say  reassuring 
things  about  unions  to  secure  a 
Labour  election  victory'  . Or 
perhaps  it  is  merely  a descrip- 
tion of  the  effects  of  new 
internal  union  structures 
rather  than  2 harbinger  of  any 
change  in  their  function. 

Mr  Jordan's  election  is  prob- 


ably a better  reflection  of  the 
views  and  aspirations  of  the 
AUEW  membership  than  pre- 
vious contests.  Meanwhile, 
out  in  the  real  world,  the 
AUEW  is  embroiled  in  a 
unnecessary  dispute  at  British 
Aerospace  where  (despite  Mr 
Jordan)  claims  for  hours  and 
money  seem  to  be  more  highly 
valued  than  maximizing 
employment  for  non-mem- 
. bers. 


The  feet  of  modem  union 
life  is  that  organizing  the  “new 
working  class"  - dispersed  in 
smaller  firms  and  using  new 
technologies  — is  problematic. 
Two  of  Mr  Jordan’s  rhetorical 
strophes  are  small  business 
and  individualism  in  the 
workplace.  He  proposes,  most 
suggestively,  “surgeries"  for 
small  employers  on  their  la- 
bour problems.  He  emphasizes 
employee  rights. 


Where  the  new  realism  is 
especially  ambiguous  is  over 
the  political  affiliation  of  trade 
unionism.  On  behalf  of  the 
Labour  Party’s  own  brand  of 
new  realism  Mr  Hanersley  has 
been  making  speeches.  At  the 
shop  workers’  union  con- 
ference on  Monday  he  set  out 
elements  of  the  social  contract 
that  Labour  would  like  to 


make  with  the  trade  unons  — 
though,  understandably,  not  in 
those  exact  terms.  The  ele- 
ments were  moderation  on 
wages  in  return  for  some 
approximation  to  full  employ- 
ment. 

It  might  be  said  that  even  to 
get  the  unions  to  talk  about 
wage  restraint  is  a remarkable 
achievement,  though  whether 
it  stems  from  Thatcher-in- 
duced appreciation  of  eco- 
nomic reality  or  love  of  Mr 
Kinnock  is  arguable.  What  is 
remarkable  is  how  far  there  is 
underlying  agreement  on 
objectives  between  Mr  Nigel 
Lawson,  Mr  Jordan  and  even 
Mr  Ron  Todd  of  the  transport 
workers. 

All  are  saying,  in  one  way  or 
another,  that  there  is  a trade- 
off between  remuneration  and 
employment.  Mr  Lawson 
-wants  wages  restrained  in  or- 
der that  lower  unit  labour  costs 
should  enhance  competitive- 
ness and  so  stimulate  employ- 
ment Mr  Kinnock  wants  pay 
restraint  so  ■ that  his  pro- 
gramme of  reflation  and  bor- 
rowed expenditure  would  not 
fuel  inflation.  Which  is  the 
pathway  to  more  and  more 
permanent  employment  ? For 
all  his  new  realism  Mr  Jordan 
seems  to  prefer  the  latter.

Recollections  of 
the  Abdication 


Cecil  Wal 
dissociates  responsible  politicians 
in  Northern  Ireland  from  the 
mindless  — and  murderous  — 
attacks  made,  in  the  name  of 
“loyalism"  and  “Unionism",  on 
the  men  and  women  of  the  RUC 
and  their  families.  Alas,  he 
misconceives  the  role  of  both  the 
police  and  the  Police  Federation. 

It  is  the  not  the  business  of  the 
RUC  to  be  for  or  against  the 
Anglo-Irish  accord.  Ii  is  their  duty 
to  uphold  the  Queen's  peace  in 
their  pan  of  the  United  Kingdom 
and  to  enforce  the  law  as  made  by 
Parliament,  to  the  best  of  their 
ability.  Nor  is  it  the  task  of  the 
Police  Federation  to  campaign  for 
an  alternative  to  the  agreement. 
The  federation's  job  is  to  represent 
its  members  in  all  matters  that 
affect  the  welfare  and- efficiency  of 
the  force. 

These  are  no  -pedantic  legal 
distinctions.  The  most  welcome 
development  in  the  RUC  over  the 
past  20  years  has  been  its  evolu- 
tion from  a heavily  sectarian 
body,  under  local  Stormont  con- 
trol. to  an  independent  Britisb- 
style  police  force  upholding  the 
law  without  regard  to  religion  or 
politics.  It  would  be  a retrograde, 
and  dangerous,  step  for  its  serving 
officers  or  their  representative 
body  to  get  involved  in  the  politics 
of  the  Anglo-Irish  Agreement. 

That  said,  the  agreement  has 
created  a number  of  agonising 
dilemmas,  as  well  as  practical 
_ problems,  for  the  RUC. 
ie  force  is  being  asked  to  do  too 
much.  It  cannot  simultaneously  be 
successful  in: 


2.  Fighting  a counter-insurgency 


war  against  the  Provisional 

3.  Policing  massive  civil  unresL 
much  of  which.  1 accept,  reflects 
the  disaffection  of  the  majority, 
and 

4.  Maintaining  an  armed  guard 
along  an  open  international  fron- 
tier. 

Something  has  to  give.  In  my 
view,  the  RUC  should  be  relieved 
of  some  of  its  duties  on  the  border. 
Too  many  of  its  men  are  bottled 
up  in  near  fortresses:  they  should 
be  released  to  concentrate  on 
public  order  duties  and  the  protec- 
tion of  their  homes  and  families. 

1 adhere  to  the  view-  that  it  is 
impossible  in  a free  society  for  a 
civilian  police  force  to  police  for 
long  against  the  majority.  Mr  Cecil 
Walker  might  recall  that  I told 
ministers  exactly  that  when  Par- 
liament debated  the  Anglo-Irish 
Agreement-  Bui  the  majority  has 
duties  to  its  police  force,  as  well  as 
vice-versa. 

Every  elected  member  ought 
now  to  be  using  his  best  offices  to 
halt  the  violence  against  the 


halt  the  violence  against  the 
police,  to  get  rid  of  the  foolish  gag 
the  Chief  Constable  sought  to 


sought 

impose  on  the  federation,  and  talk 
with  the  Prime  Minister  on  ways 
and  means  of  peacefully  amending 
the  Anglo-Irish  Agreement  in  a 
fashion  that  restores  the  con- 
fidence of  both  sides  of  the

The  Muslim  view 


From  Mr  Kenneth  Gill 
Sir,  1 read  Mr  M ugh  ram  Al- 
Ghamdi’s  letter  (April  24)  with  a 
mixture  of  sympathy  and  irrita- 
tion. Sympathy  because  I share  a 
concern  about  the  indiscriminate 
nature  of  bombing.  Irritation  be- 
cause of  Mr  Mughram  Al- 
Ghamdi's  presumption  that  he 
speaks  for  the  two  million-strong 
Muslim  community  in  this  coun- 
try and  accuses  her  Majesty's 
Government  of  "an  ingrained 
hostility  to  Arab  Muslims  . Well, 
well;  I always  thought  that  the 
problem  with  our  Government 
and  country  was  a too  strong  pro- 
Arab  position. 

As  a tolerant  (I  hope)  member 
of  the  “host  community" 
surrounding  the  undeniably  im- 
portant Muslim  minority  1 must 
say  that  I am  aware  of  far  less 
hostility  to  the  Muslim  minority 
than  to  the  Irish  or  Jewish  or 
Catholic  or  other  minority,  per- 
haps apart  from  the  National 
FronL 

However,  as  an  Englishman 
mercifully  unaligned  to  any  re- 
ligion, I would  be  interested  to 
hear  the  views  of  other  Muslim 


British  rituens  on  the  subject  of 
the  fate,  for  example,  of  the  writer 
and  publisher  of  such  a letter 
expressing  a pro- Anglo-American 
stance  in  a Muslim  newspaper  in, 
say.  Iran.  Or  why  Mr  Mughram 
Al-Ghamdi  makes  no  mention  of 
the  horror  that  must  surely  be  felt 
by  many  Muslim  British  citizens 
about  the  atrocities  perpetrated  by 
illiberal  regimes  ruled  by  such  as 
Khomeini  or  the  slaughter  of 
Afghanistan  Muslims  by  the  Sovi- 
ets and  so  on.  Or  the  indiscrimi- 
nate placing  of  bombs  in  public 
places  by  cowards,  Muslim  or 
otherwise. 


As  I have  indicated  I hold  little 
sympathy  for  bombing  of  any 
kind.  But  I have  sympathy  for  an 
American  President  frustrated  by 
attacks  on  US  citizens  by  Muslims 
who  live  and/or  travel  freely  in 
countries  in  whom  I detect  no 
"ingrained  hostility".  And  I have 
sympathy  for  a British  Prime 
Minister  who,  against  all  purely 
party  interests,  holds  out  a helping 
hand  to  an  ally. 

Yours  sincerely.

ILEA  results 


From  Mr  William  H.  Stubbs 


Sir,  On  the  front  page  of  The 
Times  for  April  21  you  report  the 
findings  of*a  survey  which  claims 
that  the  examination  results  for 
secondary  school  pupils  in  inner 
London  are  substantially  below 
the  national  average.  In  the  run-up 
to  an  election  it  is  to  be  expected 
that  there  will  be  differing  claims 
from  political  parties  about  the 
status  quo.  This  makes  it  particu- 
larly important  that  readers 
should  understand  any  distinction 
between  political  statements  and 
basic  facts.  I should,  therefore, 
wish  to  point  out: 

Firstly,  the  National  Council  for 
Educational  Standards  which  has 
published  the  survey  is  not  a 
neutral  research  group.  It  is  a 
pressure  group  with  a commit- 
ment to  a particular  view. 


Alternative  prayers 

From  Mr  J.  W.  Howell 
Sir.  “Times  past”  might  have  been 
a more  apt  title  to  the  letter  from 
Mrs  Eve  Hitchens  (April  24). 

The  Church  (including  the 
Church  of  England)  is  probably 
one  of  the  few  institutions  which 
should  exist  for  the  benefit  of  its 
non-members.  As  Christians,  our 
duty  is  clearly  to  evangelise.  I 
wonder  how  Mrs  Hitchens  thinks 
that  the  Church  can  succeed  in 
doing  this  in  a language  and  style 
written  four  hundred  years  ago? 


Secondly,  a survey  of  examination 
results  carried  out  by  government 
statisticians  was  published  by  the 
Department  of  Education  and 
Science  in  I9S4.  It  is  the  most 
developed  analysis  of  national 
examination  statistics  so  far.  This 
concludes  that  pupils  in  the  ILEA, 
rather  than  under-achieving, 
achieve  greater  success  in 
examinations  than  expected  when 
account  is  taken  of  their  home 
background.  The  results  also  show 
that  the  ILEA  ranks  45th  out  of 
the  96  English  local  education 
authorities. 


No  doubt  at  Sunday  worship 
she  and  others  who  believe  that 
The  Book  of  Common  Prayer  and 
the  King  James  Bible  are  meaning- 
ful and  relevant  to  today's  Church 
are  “bewailing  [their]  manifold 
sins  and  wickedness"  probably 
because  it  is  "meet  and  right  and 
[their]  bounden  duty". 

Apart  from  the  feet  that  by  using 
such  words  we  are  not  being 
wholly  honest  with  God  — do  we 
really  bewail  our  sins?  — is  such 
language  likely  or  conducive  to 
bring  non-Christians  to  Church, 


e.g.,  those  “ordinary,  backsliding 


The  standards  of  pupils  from 
schools  in  the  ILEA  have  im- 
proved, both  with  respect  to  their 
predecessors  and  their  peers  else- 
where in  ihe  country'. 

Yours  sincerely,

English  men  and  women 
whom  Mrs  Hitchens  speaks? 

Thank  God  indeed  that  at  least 
the  Church  of  England  is  coming 
alive  to  the  needs  of  the  twentieth, 
century  by  attempting  to  commu- 
nicate in  this  century’s  language. 
At  least  then  with  God's  help  wc 
may  be  able  to  reach  those  in  inner 
cities,  outer  villages  and  all  peo- 
ples of  this  nation.

Heritage  fire  risk 


From  the  Director  of  the  World 
Fire  Statistics  Centre 
Sir.  The  British  Automatic  Sprin- 
kler .Association  (April  28)  can 
rightly  take  credit  for  their  long- 


lected  by  the  fire  brigades,  lose 
much  of  their  value  due  to  lack  of 
figures  for  the  cost  of  the  fire 
losses. 


standing  warnings  to  the  Govem- 
01 tT 


mem  of  the  danger  to  our  heritage 
buildings.  Is  one  lesson  of  the 
Hampton  Court  fire  that  more 
British  buildings  should  be  pro- 
tected by  automatic  sprinkler 
systems? 

The  answer  is  probably  “Yes", 
but  sprinklers  are  expensive  to 
install  and  if  Britain  is  going  to 
spend  millions  of  pounds  on 
teller  fire  protection,  taxpayers 
have  a right  io  insist  that,  the 
money  is  spent  cost-effectively. 

CoK-effectivencss  can  only  be 
measured  by  statistics  and  the 
truth  is  that  British  fire  statistics 
(like  those  of  other  countries)  are 
hopelessly  inadequate.  For  exam- 
ple. the  excellent  statistics,  col- 


At  last  week's  centre  seminar  in 
Geneva,  Christopher  Ptoul  MEP. 
pointed  out  that  the  European  cost 
offire(l  per  cent  of  gross  domestic 
product)  was  equivalent  to  the 
amount  of  the  EEC  budget  or  to 
the  cost  of  barriers  to  European 
trade.  If  this  cost  is  to  be 
materially  reduced  better  fire 
statistics  are  essential  and  a recent 
EEC  working  party  report  rightly 
stresses  the  need  for  fire-equip- 
ment manufacturers  to  take  a 
leading  role  in  evolving  a new 
network  of  national  fire  statistics.

From  Dr  J.A.  H.  Wylie 
Sir.  Your  obituarist  of  the  Duch- 
ess of  Windsor  (April  25)  is  not 
wholly  correct  in  stating  that  the 
"American  and  continental  press 
was  full"  of  the  scandal  surround- 
ing the  Prince  of  Wales  and  Mrs 
Simpson. 

At  the  time  that  I arrived  as  an 
undergraduate  in  Germany,  in 
July  1936.  and  as  a mark  of 
courtesy  to  Britain  which  was 
much  appreciated  in  Downing 
Street  and  Whitehall,  DrGoebbels 
had  decreed  that  the  story  should 
not  appear  in  the  German  press; 
not  even  in  the  Frankfurter 
Zcitung  which,  at  that  lime, 
enjoyed  some  degree  of  indepen- 
dence. That  decree  held  good  until 
the  formal  announcement  of  the 
Abdication. 

I have  the  honour  to  be.  Sir.  your 
obedient  servant,

From  the  Editor  of  the  Telegraph 
Si  Argus.  Bradford 
Sir.  The  article  by  your  Religious 
Affairs  Correspondent  (April  25) 
states  that  it  was  the  Yorkshire 
Post  which  gave  wider  circulation 
to  the  speech  given  by  the  Bishop 
of  Bradford  at  his  diocesan  con- 
ference which  precipitated  the 
Abdication  of  King  Edward  VIII. 

The  text  of  the  sensational 
speech  was.  in  fact,  disclosed  to 
the  world  on  December  1.  1936. 
by  Charles  Leach,  a reporter 
employed  by  the  Bradford  Tele- 
graph & Argus  which  had  earlier 
that  day  reported  the  news  under 
the  seven-column  headline.  “The 
Bishop  of  Bradford's  Reference  to 
the  King's  ‘Need  for  Grace'". 

The  story  was  telephoned  to  the 
Press  Association,  who  wired  it  to 
their  subscribing  newspapers  after 


first  sending  a note  alerting  editors 
jitmific 


to  the  significance  of  the  report. 

A verbatim  report  of  the 
bishop's  speech  and  a carefully 
prepared  summary  was  later  tele- 
phoned to  PA. 

The  role  of  the  Yorkshire  Post 
and  its  Editor,  Mr  Arthur  Mann, 
was  in  feet  the  circulation  of  an 
editorial  comment  about  the  affair 
which  was  published  in  some 
quarters  the  following  day. 

Yours  sincerely.

Cost  of  frigate 

From  Mr  D.  Laurent  Giles 
Sir.  It  is  high  time  someone  in 
Government  sorted  out  the  cost  of 
a frigate. 

On  January  29,  1985.  you 
reported  Mr  Heseltine  making  a 
statement  in  Parliament,  as  De- 
fence Secretary,  that  the  price  of  a 
Type  22  frigate  was  "about  £140 
million".  At  the  time  of  the 


launching  of  the  Type  22  frigates 
' ?ffie 


Coventry  and  Sheffield  earlier  this 
month  their  price  was  widely 
reported,  in  your  columns  and  on 
the  BBC  as  “1 00  million". 

Last  night,  in  its  MOD  pro- 
gramme-made with  the  fullest  co- 
operation of  the  Ministry  of 
Defence  - the  BBC  gave  the  cost  of 
a Type  22  as  £ 1 70  million.

entitled  to  an  accurate  figure  for 


such  a huge  item  of  public

EGYPT. 

/Prom  An  Occasional 
Correspondent.) 

ALEXANDRIA,  April  14. 
Nobody  here  knows  how  Egypt 
will  be  affected  by  the  war.  It  is  a 
practical,  not  a theoretical  ques- 
tion, and  yet  no  answer  is  ready . . - 
To  turn  to  more  pacific  subjects. 
In  country  of  many  Creeds  we 
are  to  have  two  Easters,  and  the 
the  Greek  and  Coptic 
Easter,  is  always  a very  noisy 
business.  The  churches  are  crowd- 


ed, and  at  midnight  squibs  and 
crackers  are  lighted  an 


and  guns  fired, 
ail  with  the  object  of  “shooting 
Judas",  whose  death  is  made 
doubly  sure  by  his  being  also  burnt 
in  effigy  in  half  a dozen  different 

quarters  of  the  town.  The  rejoicing 
lasts  over  Monday,  when  every- 
body turns  out  to  greet  the  coming 
summer.  This  day,  the  Coptic 
Easter  Monday,  is  also  the  occa- 
sion of  a great  Arab  festival  which 
is  only  known  in  Egypt,  and  was 
adopted  from  the  Coptic  practice 
the  conquerors  found  when  they 
brought  the  religion  of  Mahomet 
into  the  country.  Tha  Arabs  call  it 
the  Shemm-en-Neseem— the 
smelling  of  the  zephyr.  They  and 
their  families  go  out  to  their 
country,  some  with  tents,  and  pass 
the  day  in  the  fields,  on  the  banks 
of  the  canals,  under  the  shade  of 
trees,  eating  fruit  and  sweetmeats 
and  making  and  telling  stories. 
They  dress  in  their  brightest 
colours  and  group  themselves  into 
brilliant  masses.  Some  take  boats 
and  paddle  about  the  harbour, 
others  float  about  in  canal  barges. 
They  take  nothing  stronger  than 
water,  and  yet  they  are  as  merry  as 
children.  Their  talk  and  laughter 
are  never  ending,  and  the  smallest 
joke  calk  forth  the  broadest  grin. 
“It  is  so  pleasant,”  said  a great 
traveller  to  me  to-day,  "to  come 
from  gloomy  England  to  so  happy 
and  smiling  a people. "Their  food  is 
of  the  simplest  kind.  Big  flat  loaves 
of  bread,  cakes,  sweetmeats,  lettuce 
and  onions,  with  great  draughts  of 
Nile  water,  make  their  dinner.  No 
matter  what  the  weather  is— even  a 
hot  desert  wind  may  be  blowing, 
they  still  go  out  to  “smell  the 
zephyr",  and  only  return  at  the 
setting  sun.  From  this  date  the 
natives  date  the  period  of 
Khamseen  (60),  when  the  hot 


winds  are  supposed  to  blow  off  and 
on  for  50  days.  As  a matter  of  feet 
we  had  these  Khamseen  winds  a 
month  ago.  but  the  Arab  only  calls 
it  a Khamseen  if  it  occurs  within 
this  period.  The  origin  they  give  to 
these  words  is  very  quaint.  When 
Cain  murdered  his  brother  Abel,  he 
wandered  into  the  desert  with  the 
body  on  his  back,  not  knowing  how 
to  dispose  of  it.  So  he  wandered  for 
50  days,  and  the  hot  wind  blew 
upon  him  all  the  rime  and  filled 
him  with  thirst  and  fever.  At  last 
he  saw  two  birds  fight  in  the  air 
and  one  kill  the  other.  Then  Cain 
said  to  himself,  "1  will  do  with  my 
brothers  body  as  the  living  bird 
does  with  the  dead."  The  living 
bird  scratched  a hole  in  the  sand 
and  buried  his  fellow.  So  Cain 
buried  his  brother  in  (he  desert, 
and  straightaway  a cool  breeze 
came  and  his  fever  passed.  But 
every  spring  the  hot  wind  has  come 
back  to  blow  for  50  days . . . 

The  statement  in  the  English 
newspapers  and  the  question  in  the 
House  of  Commons  concerning  the 
sale  of  300  slaves  in  Cairo,  has 
revived  in  Egypt  the  memory  of  the 
late  Moufettish.  His  were  the 
slaves  in  question.  His  hareem  was 
noted  as  the  largest  in  the  country 
and  the  disposal  of  it  was  a matter 
uf  some  difficulty  when  the  great 
man  fell.  Even  if  Egypt  were 
seriously  disposed  to  abandon  the 
system  of  domestic  slavery,  there  is 
no  organization  for  the  protection 
of  slaves  who  are  suddenly  released, 
and  freedom  in  such  a case  would 
have  been  a questionable  benefit. 
Many  were  placed  in  other 
hareems.  but  a large  number  were 
sold,  not  in  the  sensational  manner 
which  has  been  stated,  but  by 
private  contract  Indeed,  there  is 
no  such  thing  as  a public  slave 
market  in  Cairo,  although,  no 
doubt,  slaves  are  bought  and  sold 
there 

At  present  domestic  slavery  is  a 
necessity  to  the  hareem  system.  A 
number  of  slaves  are  a sign  of 
wealth  and  position.  Every  wife  of 
a certain  rank  is  entitled  to  have 
slave  attendants.  It  would  be 
impossible  to  maintain  the  seclu- 
sion of  the  hareem  without  slaves. 
Female  domestic  servants  are  un- 
known, and  if  the  wives  had  to  do 
their  own  work  they  could  no 
longer  maintain  their  strict  isola- 
tion. To  change  such  a system 
must  be  a matter  of  time . . . 


Cyprus  settlement 

From  Mr  D.  Lakatamitis 
Sir.  Your  leader.  “Time  to  settle 
Cyprus"  (April  23)  includes,  at 
several  instances,  a vague  and 
slightly  misleading  interpretation 
of  the  reasons  why  President 
Kyprianou  has  not  given  the 
thumbs  up  to  the  latest  UN 
initiative. 

What  the  article  calls  unreason- 
able is  the  President's  refusal  to 
dissolve  the  present,  internation- 
ally recognized  government  of 
Cyprus  for  a so  called 
“transitional"  one,  while  major 
issues  like  a)  the  withdrawal  of  the 
Turkish  occupation  troops*  b)  the 
withdrawal  of  ihe  imported  Turk- 
ish settlers,  c)  the  question  of 
international  guarantees  (the  .UN 
plan  names  Turkey  as  a guarantor 
of  independence!)  and  d)  the  issue 
of  basic  human  freedoms,  i.e..  to 
move,  live  or  work  in  any  part  of 
the  island,  remain  unresolved, 
even  in  principle,  and  are  left  to 
“working  groups"  to  son  out  at 

leisure. 

Whilst  1 believe  there  should 


be  major  concessions  from  both 
sides,  so  that  trust  and  a lasting 
solution  be  established.  I find  it 
hard  to  imagine  that  the  UN 
Secretary  General  believes  that  his 
latest  proposals  are  in  any  signifi- 
cant way  different  to  the  ones  that 
were  rejected  15  months  ago  in 
New  York. 

Yours  faithfully.

dency of  the  Royal  Musical 
Association  from  1979  to 
1983,  when  he  was  appointed 
CBE  He  was  elected  a Fellow 
of  the.  British  Academy  in 
1976. 

As  a writer,  Arnold's  princi- 
pal work  was  in  the  field  of 


Venetian  music,  especially 
Monteverdi:  he  spent  part  of 
every  year  at  his  house  near 
Venice,  pursuing  his 
researches.  * . 

His  books  include  an  admi- 
rable study  of  Monteverdi 
(1963)  and  two  editions  of  a ( 
Monteverdi  Companion  (1969 
and  1985).  as  wett  J*  a 
Beethoven  Companion  (1971). 
But  other  composers  who 
were  the  subjects  of  mono- 
graphs included  Marenzio 
(1965),  Giovanni  Gabrieli 
(1974)  and  Gesuaklo  (1984). 

He  wrote  a large  number  of 
articles  on  these  and  kindred 
composers,  and  made  practi- 
cal editions  of  Gabrieli  He 
also  edited  The  New  Oxford 
Companion  to  Afusic  which 
appeared  in  1983.  . . 

Arnold  was  a gifted  pianist 
and  harpsichordist,  and  a 
" lecturer  of  infectious  enthusi- 
asm.  His  wide  knowledge  of  w 
Baroque  music  was  manifest- 
ed in  his  articles  and  in  his 
teaching;  where  his  livery  and 
forcefully  held"  views  were 
conveyed  with  a cheerful  de- 
light in  the  subject. 

His  extrovert  and  amiable 
. nature,  and  relish  of  the 
outrageous,  concealed  much 
dedicated  professionalism, 
not  least  in  the  administration 
of  a university  music  depart- 
ment in  difficult  times. 

In  all  his  work  and  in  his 
generous  hospitality  he  was 
given  the  most  loyal  support 
by  his  wife,  Elsie,  herself  a 
trained  musicologist  with  t 
whom  he  often  collaborated. 


MR  GONTRAN  GOULDEN 


Mr  Gontran  Goulden,  OBE, 
TD,  FRIBA,  who  died  on 
April  19.  at  the  age  of  72,  was 
director  of  the  Building  Cen- 
tre. London,  from  1962  to 
1974,  a time  when  it  was 
broadening  its  role  from  that 
of  an  exhibition  of  materials 
and  equipment  to  an  informa- 
tion and  educational  body 
concerned  with  all  aspects  of 
building. 

It  became  a model  for 
similar  institutions  overseas, 
and  an  International  Union  of 
Building  Centres  was  formed 
in  1965  with  Goulden  as  its 
president. 

Gontran  Iceton  Goulden 
was  born  on  April  5,  1912, 
educated  at  St  Edmund's 
School,  Canterbury,  and  stud- 
ied architecture  at  London 
University  before  joining  a 
practice. 

A dedicated  member  of  the  - 
Terri  to  riaJ  Army,  he  was  com-  • 
missioned  into  theHoyai  Ar-  ■ 
lillery  as  eady  as- 1931. 

During  the  Second  World 
War  he  served  in  Ceylon, 
India  and  the  Far  East,  hold- 
ing senior  staff  appointments. 
He  was  twice  mentioned  in 
despatches. 

After  returning  to  civilian 
life,  first  teaching  at  toe  Agri- 
cultural Association  school 
and  then  as  chief  technical 
officer  at  toe  Budding  Centre, 
he  continued  his  association 
with  the  T A. 

He  was  deputy  commander 
33  AA  Brigade.  1954-58;  bon 
Colonel  452  HAA  Regiment, 
RA,  1960-61;  and  hon  Colonel 
254  Field  Regiment.  RA, 
1964-65. 


When  toe  International 
Union  of  Architects  held  its 
biennial  conference  in  Britain 
in  1961,  Goulden  was  ap- 
pointed director. 

He  controlled  its  meetings 
and  auxiliary  functions  with 
exemplary  efficiency  and  tact, 
an  achievement  facilitated  by 
his  extrovert  personality  and 
bonhomie. 

He  contributed  in  many 
other  ways  to  toe  administra- 
tive ride  of  toe  architectural 
profession:  as  secretary  of  toe 
Modern  Architectural  Re- 
search  Group,- 1950-53;  as  a ^ 
member  of  council  of  toe 
Architectural  Association 
(president  1956-7);  as  a mem- 
ber of  toe  RIBA  council  and  of 
toe  Architects  Registration 
Council;  and  as  treasurer  from 
1967-75  of  toe  International 
Union  of  Architects. 

■ He  also  served  on  several 
government  committees  con- 
cerned with  the  building  in- 
dustry. He  was  appointed 
OBE  in  1963. 

In  retirement  Goulden 
found  a second  career  as  a 
traveller  and  writer.  He  had  a 
fine  eye  for  paintings'  and 
buildings  and  reviewed  books 
on  travel  and  architecture  for 
The  Times  with  flair  and  . 
knowledge.  rC 

He  was  a big,  fine  looking 
man  wito.a  twinkle  in  his  eye, 
who  grew  more  handsome  as 
he  grew  older. 

He  and  his  wife.  Nan  eye, 
made  a splendid  pair,  cultivat- 
ed and  urbane  intellectuals 
who  retained  a childlike  sense 
of  fun  and  a lust  for  fife. 


DR  PATRICK  GROVE 


Dr  Patrick  Grove,  CBE,  toe 
founder  and  for  40  years  the 
driving  force  behind  toe  orga- 
nization that  has  grown  to 
become  Amersham  Interna- 
tional a company  with  a £]  00 
million  turnover,  has  died, 
aged  71. 

His  was  toe  success  story  of 
high  technology  industry.  In 
1940  be  took  over  an  outhouse 
near  Amersham,  in  Bucking- 
hamshire, to  make  luminous 
paint  for  toe  war  effort. 

. The  business  thrived  and 
went  on  to  manufacture  radio- 
active research  tools  for  indus- 
trial and  medical  uses. 

Grove’s  first  practical  ac- 
quaintance with  radioactivity 
was  as  an  ’assistant  in  the 
laboratory  of  the  Radium 
Institute  in  London. 

At  toe  outbreak  of  war  he 
spent  a short  time  at  the  Royal 
Navy  Torpedo  Establishment 
al  Greenock  in  Scotland  be- 
fore starting  toe  laboratory  in 


Amersham  to  refine  radium 
for  luminous  paint. 

After  toe  war.  Grove  steered 
bis  group  on  a course  ol 
vigorous  and  sustained  expan- 
sion, broadening  its  work  into 
the  new  field  of  radio- iso- 
topes. 

It  was  named  the  Radio- 
chemical Centre  in  1946  and 
for  eight  years  was  part  of  the 
newly  formed  United  King- 
dom Atomic  Energy 
Authority. 

In  1971  it  became  a private 
limited  company  with  Grove 
as  its  managing  director. 

He  had  already  turned  his 
attention  abroad;  and  when  he 
retired  in  1979  85  per  cent  ol 
the  company's  business  was 
from  overseas. 

Grove,  who  was  created  a 
CBE  in  1969,  took  a keen 
interest  in  local  affairs;  he  was 
chairman  of  the  bench  and 
governor  of  several  schools 
and  colleges. 

He  leaves  a widow,  JflL 


DR  MARI  NYSWANDER 


Dr  Mari  Nyswander,  an 
American  psychiatrist  who 
helped  develop  methadone 
treatment  for  heroin  addic- 
tion, died  on  April  20,  aged  67. 

Her  introduction  to  the 
problems  of  drug  addiction 
came  during  the  Second 
World  War  when  she  was  a 
lieutenant  in  the  US  Public 
Health  Service.  Later  she 
trained  in  psychiatry  and 
psychoanalysts. 

It  was  during  the  1960s, 
with  her  husband,  Vincent 
Dole,  that'  she  developed 
methadone  maintenance  for 
toe  management  of  heroin 
addiction.  An  estimated 
150,000  heroin  users  have 
since  entered  methadone 
maintenance  programmes. 

She  was  associated  with  toe 
Beth  Israel  Medical  Centre, 
where  she  and  her  husband 
instituted  trials  of  methadone 
in  1964. 

Her  work  during  the  1 960s, 
in  a store-front  dime  set  up  by 


the  Narcotics  Office  of 
East  Harlem-  Protestant

Television 

So  now 
the  dust 
can  lie 

Mote,  massacres  and  streams 
of  pitiful  refugees  filled  the 
screen  at  regular  intervals  over 
the  last  three  days  of  Lord 
Mounsbatten:  The  Last  Vice- 
roy* 

rise  series  had  the  vast 
disadvantage  of  coming  to  the 
screen  at  the  rear  of  a proces- 
sion of  fabulous  epics  about 
the  twilight  of  the  British  Raj. 
It  was  hard  not  to  notice  that  it 
lacked  the  dignity  of  Gandhi, 
the  scope  of  A Passage  to 
India,  the  gotsy  vulgarity  of 
The  Far  Pavilions  or  the 
humanity  of  A Jewel  in  the 
Crowa.  lt  also  lacked  a viable 
dramatic  structure,  so  that 
pBes  of  bloodstained  corpses 
and  rioting  mobs  were  called 
for  so  often  that  the  sights 
became  wearisome. 

The  first  problem  was  histo- 
ry, in  which  events  seldom 
arranged  themselves  into  the 
kind  of  heart-stopping,  s 
penseful  progression  that 
keeps  an  audience  viewing  for 
horns  on  end.  The  second 
problem  was  evidently  senti- 
ment; the  Mountbattens  are  to 
this- day  dearly-loved  figures 
but  it  was  hard  to  project  the 
qualities  which  aroused  public 
affection. 

The  script  often  gave  the 
impression  of  having  been 
. assembled  from  nndiggsted 
fragments  of  military  mem- 
oirs, and  the  dialogue  flowed 
most  freely  when  Aochmleck 
waved  a pointer  over  a map. 
Any  emotional  dimension  the 
drama  could  have  achieved 
was  nullified  by  this  dipped, 
factually-orientated  mode. 
The  series  was  unable  to 
suggest  die  personalities  of 
Mountbatten  and  his  wife 
Edwina  in  any  meaningful 
way.  Nicol  Williamson  in  the 
tide  role  had  an  appropriate 
Cruel  Sea  accent  and  an  upper 
lip  so  stiff  it  was  unable  to 
animate  the  wooden  dialogue. 
The  most  successful  charac- 
terization was  lan  Rich- 
ardson's Nehru,  which  was 
achieved  at  the  cost  of  giving 
an  imposing  newsreel  figure 
rather  too  modi  plasticity. 

The  awkward  question  of 
the  relationship  between  Lady 
Mountbatten  and  die  Indian 
leader  was  treated  with  hesi- 
tancy ami  embarrassment 
rather  than  deHcacyrinid  me 
had  the  impression  that  the 
scriptwriter  would  have  -been 
happier  to  dock  this  issue 
entirely. 

In  ail,  this  sbe-hour  mini- 
series  was  not  equal  to  its 
subject  ami  has  effectively 
ensured  that  the  dost  of  this 
era  will  not  be  disturbed  again 
for  some  years  — when,  per- 
haps, tbe  lengthening  perspec- 
tive of  history  wffl  render  it 
earner  to  portray  with  success.

Thai  is  a little  unfair  on 
Roland  Price,  who  acts  intelli- 
gently and  sympathetically, 
and  dances  with  vigour.  He  is 
best  when  being  wicked,  and 
also,  crucially,  m the  ballet's 
final  scene  with  its  mixture  of 
pathos,  courage  and  doom. 
This  is  a performance  which 
one  can  expea  to  grow  once  he 
has  tbe  measure  of  the  role. 

Bintley  has  given  tbe  ballet, 
contrary  to  Hans  Andersen’s 
story,  a tragic  ending.  Gerda's 
devotion  in  following  Kay  to 
the  Snow  Queen's  palace  still 
serves  to  melt  his  heart,  but  it 
is  too  late:  his  fate  is  already 
sealed.  That  makes,  in  the 
theatre,  a more  definite  cli- 
max. It  also  reflects  the  rela- 
tive strength  of  the  two  main 
women's  roles. 

Leanne  Benjamin  gives 
Gerda  a quiet  tenacity,  but  she 
cannot  find  much  more  in  the 
part,  while  the  title  role  offers 
an  opportunity  for  a sense  of 
mystery  and  command.  Sam- 
ira Saidi.  in  much  tbe  biggest 
role  she  has  yet  played,  justi- 
fies Bintley’s  choice  of  her  not 
only  by  her  striking  beauty  but 


by  finding  an  inward  stillness 
that  conveys  the  character's 
confidence  in  her  supernatural 
power.  She  carries  off  her  long 
solos  and  the  difficult  duet  at 
the  end  with  confident  skilL 

The  Snow  Queen  is  a long 
ballet,  but  it  does  not  feel 
unduly  protracted.  How  well 
its  dance  interest  will  sustain 
repeated  viewings  and  varied 
interpretations  remains  to  be 
seen.  What  is  clear  at  first 
sight  is  that  it  offers  an 
evening  of  exciting  entertain- 
ment, not  least  by  such  tricks 
as  the  shattered  mirror,  the 
sudden  apparition  of  a giant 
carnival  figure  and  the  use  at 
one  point  of  a tiny  puppet. 

It  suits  ibis  company  well, 
too,  offering  minor  roles  that 
are  done  with  great  zest,  by 
Anita  Lan  da  and  Desmond 
Kelly  as  Gerda's  parents  and 
by  several  players  in  the 
carnival  scene.  There  is  also  a 
chance  for  the  women  in  the 
final  episode  to  redress  the 
balance  of  power,  which  they 
lake  with  joyous  enthusiasm.'

Opera 

Tosca 

Co  vent  Garden 


The  shadows  of  Zeffirelli’s  Tosco,  with 
its  flickering  candle-light  and  glowering 
dawn,  can  all  too  easily,  22  years  on, 
threaten  to  swallow  up  any  cast  not 
entirely  equal  to  its  epic  might.  Gallas, 
Cioni  and  Gobbi  have  been  a hard  act  to 
follow.  But  it  could  just  be  that  the  Royal 
Opera,  for  a precious  two  more  perfor- 
mances (tomorrow  and  Monday)  have 
hit  on  a team  who  will  provide  in  their 
own  way  fruit  for  future  reminiscent 
comparison. 

That  team  is  Ingvar  Wixell,  returning 
as  Scarpia,  Giuseppe  Giacomini  in  his 
first  Covent  Garden  Cavaradossi  and, 
above  all,  the  Soviet  soprano  Natalia 
Troitskaya,  making  her  British  debut 
They  take  the  opera  and  its  production  — 
both  unashamed  archetypes  — entirely 
on  its  own  terms,  and  in  doing  so  are  de- 
lighting an  eager,  cross-legged  auditori- 
um audience  in  this  week  of  the  annual 
Covent  Garden  Proms. 


Superb  control  and  timing:  Natalia 
Troitskaya  with  Ginseppe  Giacomini 

Troitskaya  sets  the  scale,  creating  a 
silhouette  of  melodrama  whose  every 
shifting  profile  is  as  hypnotic  to  watch  as 
a silent  movie.  One  is  left,  as  if  after  star- 
ing into  a bright  light  for  too  long,  with  a 
sequence  of  indelibly  ingrained  images: 
the  fist  quivering  at  the  canvas  in  Act  I as 
the  other  hand  withdraws,  trembling,, 
from  Scarpia;  the  outstretched  candle- 
bearing  arms;  the  lurching  first  step  to 
the  parapet  The  voice,  a pulsating. 


chest-orientated  Eastern  European  so- 
prano. fleshes  out  this  Tosca’s  pride, 
volatility  and  dignity  with  suberb  control 
and  timing. 

That  timing  comes  into  its  own  in  the 
central  act  Wixell,  who  has  been 
preparing  with  wonderfully  understated 
insinuation  a crescendo  of  presence  up  to 
this  point  creates  with  Troitskaya  a 
physical  tension  greater  than  any  1 have 
sensed  here  before.  It  is  to  Giaco  in  ini's 
credit  that  despite  a short  patch  of  vocal 
as  well  as  physical  torment  at  this  point 
he  was  able  to  equal  it  in  Act  III. 
Elegance  and  eloquence  reinforce  each 
other  in  this  dense,  totally  un histrionic 
tenor  just  as  dignity  tempers  ardour  in 
this  Cavaradossi. 

With  newly  invigorated  staging  by 
Wilfred  Judd,  the  evening,  under  a 
different  baton,  could  just  have  turned 
over  from  good  to  great  Michael 
Schonwandt  creates  a welcome  trans- 
parency of  text  and  texture,  but  offers 
conducting  of  the  short-term,  sectional 
school  observing  myopically  for  too 
much  of  the  time  and  tending  to  breathe 
alongside  rather  than  with  and  through 
bis  singers  and  his  composer.

It  was  only  recently  that  John 
Cox  realized  the  significance 
of  April  30,  the  date  his  new 
production  of  The  Marriage  of 
Figaro  for  Scottish  Opera 
opens  at  the  Theatre  Royal 
Glasgow.  “I  was  sitting  in  bed 
reading  Hildesheimer’s  Mo- 
zart biography.  It  was  late,  but 
I had  an  inch  of  whisky  left  in 
my  glass  so  I started  flicking 
through  the  chronology  of 
works.  Then  I saw  it  ‘1786, 
May  1.  premiere  of  Le  nozze 
di  Figaro \ I nearly  leapt  out  of 
bed.  To  have  come  that  dose 
to  the  bicentenary  by  accident 
I know  it’s  going  to  mean  a lot 
to  the  cast,  and  I'm  sure  the 
first-night  party  will  take  us 
well  into  May  1.” 

It  seems  improbable  that  a 
director  with  Cox’s  long- 
standing Glyndebourne  con- 
nections should  be  staging  his 
first  Figaro  at  the  age  of  SO. 
But,  as  he  points  out,  his 
Glyndebourne  '’apprentice- 
ship*' coincided  with  Carl 
Ebert's  celebrated  production, 
which  Cox  assisted  on.  “It  was 
such  a wonderful  production 
that  1 think  the  general  feeling 
at  Glyndebourne  was  that 
Figaro  should  not  be  attempt- 
ed again  until  something  com- 
parable could  be  achieved.  It 
was  out  of  the  repertoire  for 
ages."  Then,  during  Cox's 
time  as  Glyndebourne's  direc- 
tor of  productions  (1971-82), 
it  was  decided  that  Peter  Hall 
should  do  the  complete  cycle 
of  Da  Pome/Mozart  operas. 

Cox  is  not  unhappy,  howev- 
er, about  coming  to  Figaro 
comparatively  late.  "It  is  one 
of  tbe  great  masterpiece5  of 
the  human  spirit,  and  as  such 
must  be  daunting.  It  was  part 
of  my  five-year  plan  for 
Scottish  Opera  when  I came 
here  as  general  administrator 
in  1982,  and  1 feel  1 am  more 
ready  for  it  now  than  I was  on 
arrival." 

Most  theatre  directors  look 
for  a “way  m"  to  a work,  but 
Cox  starts  by  looking  for  the 
way  out:  he  thinks  the  ending 
through  first.  “I  did  a se- 
quence of  operas  with  prob- 
lem endings.  Ariadne  auf 
Naxos  being  the  most  notori- 
ous. You  could  re-title  it 
‘Waiting  for  Bacchus',  but 
what  the  tell  do  you  do  when 
be  gets  there?  So  it  became  a 
babit  for  me  to  start  with  the 
last  scene,  to  make  the  ending 
mean'  what  the  rest  is  leading 


up  to.  ... 

“*In  Ftgarolbe  ending  is  also 
the  most  sublime  passage:  the 
forgiveness,  and  the  following

ensemble.  You  scarcely  dare 
breathe  while  it  is  being  sung.  I 
asked  myself  why  is  this 
taking  place  in  a garden?" 

The  question  has  led  Cox  to 
explore  the  eighteenth  cen- 
tury's fascination  with  gar- 
dens, both  in  the  literal 
horticultural  sense  and  as  apt 
symbols  for  the  Enlighten- 
ment concern  with  the  balance 
between  Reason  and  Nature. 
“It  soon  became  clear  to  me 
that  this  opera's  amazing  tan- 
gle can  only  be  resolved  in  a 
garden.  All  the  man-made 
artifices,  the  complications, 

the  carefully-structured  inti- 
macies and  intrigues:  in  the 
garden  it  suddenly  all  comes 
out  clearly.  So  what  we  try  to 
project  is  the  idea  that  when 
we  are  in  emotional  trouble 
we  should  consult  nature." 

But  what  about  the  Count's 
extra-marital  ambitions;  sure- 
ly he  is  already  following  his 
own  "nature"?  Cox  elabo- 
rates: “The  point  about  the 
Count  is  that  be  is  following 
nature  in  the  wrong  way;  be  is 
playing  the  beast  Figaro  is  a 
statement  of  faith  in  the 
perfectability  of  human  rela- 
tionships. You  can  have  won- 
derful harmony,  but  only  if 
you  get  the  balance  right,  if 
you  don’t  distort  ft  by  greed  or 
lust." 

The  designer.  John  Byrne,  is 
a painter,  playwright  and  di- 1 
rector  in  his  own  right  “He's 
an  astonishing  polymath", 
says  Cox,  “and  the  most 
arresting  things  about  his  stage 
designs  are  his  costumes.  They 
are  not  just  costume  designs, 
they  are  character-studies 
down  to  the  smallest  detail.” 
Both  director  and  designer  are 
determined  that  all  the  opera’s 
concealments  and  disguises 
should  be  convincing.  “I  have 
seen  too  many  Figaros  lately 
where  the  characters  stand 
there  in  broad  moonlight,  and 
the  only  reason  they  don’t  see 
each  other  is  because  they 
don’t  want  to  wreck  the 
production.  Thai  is  design  and 
direction  cop-out” 

Being  the  com  party's  artistic 
director,  says  Cox,  usually 
ensures  he  gets  the  singers  he 


wants.  “I  was  keen  to  have 
isobel  Buchanan  doing  her 
first  Susanna,  however  magi- 
cal her  Countess  may  have 
been.  Curiously,  a similar 
situation  arose  with  Jonathan 
Summers.  I know  Govern 
Garden  cast  him  as  Figaro,  but 
when  1 saw  him  doing  Onegin 
for  Opera  North  I knew  at 
once  that  here  was  our 
Count.” 

Cox  moves  on  to  a favourite 
hobby-horse:  the  conductor’s 
contribution  to  a production. 
He  admires  Gyorgy  Fischer 
for  involving  himself  in 
Figaro  rehearsals  from  the 
outset,  but  feels  this  is  becom- 
ingly increasingly  rare.  “1  have 
had  a string  of . productions 
recently  where,  for  whatever 
reason,  the  conductor  has 
been  distinguished  by  his  ab- 
sence from  many  stage  re- 
hearsals. That  can't  be  good; 
you  have  got  to  collaborate. 
And  occasionally  one  does  get 
bitter.  After  all.  we  directors 
cannot  usually  just  buzz  off 
and  do  £1000  worth  of  work 
in  three  hours,  and  buzz  back 
again.” 

Moreover,  Cox  believes  this 
may  account  in  part  for  the 
rise  of  what  has  become 
known  as  “producer’s  opera". 
“Sometimes  you  hear  the 
comment  *1  don’t  know  why 


Conductor  X allowed  it'.  Well, 
the  fact  is  that  Conductor  X 
simply  was  not  around  to  do 
anything  about  it.'’ 

Cox  himself  has  generally 
avoided  “producer's  opera". 
He  is  concerned,  however, 
that  the  increasing  need  for 
opera  companies  to  seek  pri- 
vate sponsorship  to  mount 
new  productions  will  discour- 
age innovative  stagings.  “For 
example,  we  have  just  had  a 
sponsorship  offer  at  Scottish 
Opera,  a substantial  five-fig- 
ure sum  which  we  could  cer- 
tainly use.  But  it  came  with 
the  proviso  that  ‘in  view  of 
recent  production  trends'  the 
offer  would  be  contingent  on 
the  sponsor  being  involved 
from  the  earliest  stages  in  the 
artistic  progress  of  the  projecL 
I cannot  even  say  that  is 
wrong.  But  I cannot  help 
remembering  a phrase  that 
was  used  to  me  in  Houston  ten 
years  ago,  when  I was  doing 
Rosen  kavaiier.  Before  we 
went  into  rehearsal  I was  told 
■you  must  get  concept  clear- 
ance'. Now,  if  'concept 
clearance’  is  going  to  be  the 
name  of  the  game,  we  must  all 
.assess  our  positions  care- 
fully." 

After  tranquil  Glynde- 
bourne. Cox  joined  Scottish 
Opera  at  a traumatic  time. 
Nevertheless  he  does  not  re- 
gret the  move.  “At  Glynde- 
bourne I directed  very  much 
with  the  audience  in  mind.  If  I 
hadn't  I probably  would  not 
have  had  a career.  I don’t 
condemn  the  Glyndebourne 
audience  out  of  hand,  as  many 
do.  But  opera  is  really  an 
urban  art  form,  and  I find  ft 
more  meaningful  to  work  in  a 
big  city  with  a broad  spectrum 
of  people  as  your  target.  Then 
there  is  the  educational  aspect 
of  Scottish  Opera,  the  pioneer- 
ing work  sending  out  those 
piano-accompanied  Toscas, 
peeled  to  the  bare  essentials, 
to  small  fishing  communities 
bn  the  east  coast  where  the 
passion  of  it  comes  over 
amazingly  directly.  That  gives 
me  enormous  satisfaction.” 


Theatre 

Ballroom 

Stratford  East 


London  theatre-goers  have 
seen  little  of  Wales  in  recent 
years,  but  to  judge  from  this 
piece  by  Robert  Pugh  nothing 
much  has  changed  since  the 
time  of  the  Thomases,  Dylan 
and  Gwyn. 

Glamorgan  in  the  Eighties 
still  comes  over  as  a stifling 
community  of  twitching  net- 
curtains  and  poisonous  gossip, 
where  people  get  married  to 
punish  each  other  for  life  and 
the  only  satisfactions  are  those 
of  domestic  martyrdom  and 
drink. 

Mr  Pugh  examines  several 
stunted  lives  in  the  course  of  a 
long  evening,  but  bis  main 
story  is  that  of  Mary,  who 
discovers  that  her  husband 
Dick  has  been  sneaking  off 
every  Monday  for  an  eve- 
ning’s dancing.  At  this  appall- 
ing act  of  disloyalty  she  arms 
herself  with  a hammer  and 
hides  in  the  back  of  his  van, 
emerging  like  an  avenging  fury 
on  the  Top  Rank  floor,  casting 
a spanner  into  his  tango. 

Long  before  we  get  to  this 
climax,  any  hope  of  comedy 
has  long  since  evaporated.  In 
tone,  the  piecr  amounts  to  a 
fatal  combination  of  Strind- 
berg and  small-town  gossip. 

It  opens  with  the  sight  of 
Dick  and  his  mates  at  work, 
sanding  down  service  lockers 
at  an  RAF  base  and  swapping 
small  talk  about  people  we 
have  not  met,  and  rough  male 
horseplay  that  discourages 
further  acquaintance  with  the 
company  on  view. 

When  the  action  begins 
closing  in,  it  is  to  follow  the 
separate  miseries  of  the  or- 
phaned Bob.  who  gives  up 
university  for  an  ostracized 
unmarried  mother,  Ellis, 
whose  wife  goes  down  with 
cancer,  and  Mary’s  old  mother 
who  sits  at  home  complaining 
that  nobody  comes  near  her 
while  hurling  abuse  at  anyone 
who  sets  foot  over  her 
threshold. 

Mr  Pugh  is  an  actor  and  a 
performed  author,  and  the 
only  explanation  that  I can 
find  for  this  less  than  profes- 
sional piece  of  work  is  that  it 
arises  from  some  violently 
painful  experience.  Some  of 
the  scenes  are  genuinely  pain- 
ful. particularly  when  Mary 
and  Dick  try  to  patch  up  their 
marriage,  only  to  enter  a 
narrowing  spiral  ofever-more- 
bitter  rows. 

But  one  is  soon  rendered 
punch-drunk  by  these.  You 
know  too  well  what  is  coming 
and  the  characters  simply 
lurch  from  exhausted  endear- 
ments to  renewed  aggression 
with  no  intervening  stages 
between  the  two  exiremes.lt  is 
so  obvious  that  the  only  hope 
these  people  have  is  to  beat  it 
out  of  Glamoigan  on  the  next 
train,  that  there  is  small 
interest  in  waiting  to  see  how 
they  will  next  draw  blood. 

The  dance-floor  scenes  {ex- 
tremely well  accompanied  by 
Colin  Snell  and  Andrew  Bush) 
are  much  the  most  stage- 
worthy  of  Jonathan  Martin's 
indecisive  production.  Philip 
Madoc  and  June  Watson  work 
hard  and  to  small  effect  as  the 
wretched  partners.

The  gradual  superim posi-

Despite  everything,  Berlioz's

and,  rather  unfashionably  for 
Berlioz's  day.  Shakespeare's) 
and  his  hybrid  seven-move-

The  symphony  has  weak-

theory  a good  idea  that  simply 
does  not  excite  the  ear  suffi-

of  phrases  here.  The  sixth

‘Terror  gang’ 

killed  Briton, 
Israelis  say 


From  Ian  Murray,  Jerusalem 
Israeli  security  police  said  involved  a West  German  tour- 
ist wounded  as  she  walked 
into  a convent  in  the  Via 
Dolorosa,  and  an  American 
Jew  who  was  grazed  by  a 
bullet  fired  at  him  after  he  had 


here  that  they  had  arrested  "a 
terror  gang”  yesterday  who 
had  confessed  to  the  murder 
of  an  English  tourist  in  East 
Jerusalem  last  Sunday  and  to 
three  other  shooting  incidents 
in  the  city  since  die  beginning 
of  March.  ' -• 

On  orders  of  the  examining 
magistrate  the  names  of  those 
arrested  were  not  released  and 
police  refused  to  say  how 
many  were  involved.  They 
claimed,  however,  that  the 
gang  were  members  of  the  Abu 
Moussa  extremist  faction  of 
Fatah,  the  military  wing  of  the 
Palestine  Liberation  Organi- 
zation (PLO). 

Apart  from  shooting  Mr 
Brian  Appleby  outside  the 
Carden  Tomb,  the  gang  is  said 
to  have  killed  a Jewish  busi- 
nesswoman. Mrs  Zehava  Ben- 
Ovadia.  in  her  office  only  1 SO 
yards  from  the  scene  of  last 
weekend's  murder.  Both  vic- 
tims were  killed  by  the  same 
.22  pistol  fired  from  dose 
range  into  the  side  of  the  head. 

The  other  two  shootings 


prayed  at  the  Western  Wall. 

The  shootings  are  thought 
to  be  at  least  partly  responsi- 
ble for  a reported  40  per  cent 
drop  in  American  tourism  to 
Jerusalem  sirtee  the  start  of 
this  year  and  it  is  feared  that 
the  killing  of  Mr  Appleby  will 
lead  to  many  cancellations  by 
British  visitors. 

Mr  Teddy  Kollek,  the  May- 
or of  Jerusalem,  has  decided 
10  write  personally  to  his 
many  celebrity  acquaintances 
around  the  world  to  ask  them 
to  visit  Jerusalem  to  show 
there  is  no  danger  in  travelling 
to  Israel  and  no  reason  to 
panic. 

East  Jerusalem,  he  says,  is 
safer  than  Central  Park-  in 
New  York.  “If  people  stop 
travelling  they  are  handing 
Gadaffi  and  other  terrorists 
their  victory  on  a silver 
platter."  he  said.

properly. 

“I  have  been  batty  about 
fountains  for  more  years  than  1 
can  remember",  Mrs  Thelma 
Seear.  founder  of  The  Foun- 
tain Society,  said.  But  the 
society  is  not  the  eccentric 
brainchild  of  a single  enthusi- 
ast. It  is  affiliated  to  the  Civic 
Trust  and  its  patron  is  the 
Prince  of  Wales.  Committee 
members  include  Mr  Qltyd 


The  Fountain  Society  wants 
to  compile  a register  of  foun- 
tains and  find  places  that 
would  benefit  from  new  ones. 

Parliament  Square  in  Lou- 
don was  such  a place  and  it 
ought  to  be  built  to  celebrate 
the  Queen’s  60th  birthday  last 
week.  Mrs  Seear  said. 

She  called  for  higher  jets  of

Last  journey  of 
Duchess  ends  in 
simple  fnneral

screen,  out  of  sight  of  the 
common  mourners,  in  the 
stalls  where  once  hmg  the 
Duke  of  Windsor’s  Garter 
Banner. 

Parliament  too  paid  its  re- 
spects. The  Prime  Minister 
and  Mr  Dennis  Thatcher  were 
joined  by  other  party  tenders 
including  Mr  Neil  Kiapock. 
Dr  David  Owen  and  Mr 
James  Motyneanx. 

The  stained  glass  west  win- 
_jw  of  St  George’s  glowed 
afire  in  the  son  as  file  choir 
sang  "We  brought  nothing 
into  this  world,  and  it  is  certain 
we  can  cany  nothing  out," 
followed  by  Psalm  90  with  its 
Ones  “The  days  of  oar  age  are 
three  score  years  and  ten;  and 
thoqgh  men  be  so  strong  that 
they  come  to  four  score  years, 
yet  is  there  strength  then  but 
labour  and  sorrow".  So  was  it 
with  the  Duchess,  who  came  to 
four  score  and  nine. 


Dignified  yet 
impersonal  service 


The  Right  Rev  Michael 
Mann  read  the  lesson  from  2 
Corinthians:  "So  long  as  we 
are  at  home  in  body,  we  are  . 
exiles  from  the  Lord.”  There 
was  a single  hymn,  sung  with 
the  wavering  uncertainty  of  a 
congregation  unschooled  in 
the  tune:  "Lead  ns,  heavenly 
father,  lead  as."  The  final 
blessing  of  the  Archbishop  of 
Canterbury,  Dr  Robert 
Runtie,  delivered  without  ben- 
efit of  public  address,  was  lost 
on  most  of  the  congregation, 
whose  appreciation  of  the 
service  was  punctuated  by  the 
occasional  ramble  of  aircraft 
overhead. 

It  was  a ample,  dignified 
service,  yet  impersonal,  with 
no  mention  at  any  stage  of  die 
name  of  the  deceased,  nor  any 
reference  to  her  life.  There  was 
no  address;  she  wanted  it  that 
way. 

But  for  a woman  born  in 
America  who  lived  over  half 
her  life  in  France,  her  depar- 
ture from  the  church  had  a 
quintessential  English  ness,  as 
the  organ  played  Elgar’s  Nim- 
rod, and  the  procession  bore 
her  coffin  down  the  aisle  to  the 
slowest  of  martial  steps,  the 
feet  of  the  honour  guard 


beating  a fimerial  tatoo  on  the 
paving  stones.  • 

The  coffin  was  followed  by 
the  Qneen  and  other  members 
of  the  Royal  family,  their  feces 
stern  and  unmoving  except  tor 
the  Prince  of  Wales  who  wore 
an  expression  of  particular 
sorrow;  he  had  known  the 
Duchess,  if  briefly,  and  had 
made  an  attempt  to  bridge  two 
generations. 

Twelve  pay  their  i 
last  respects  / 

The  coffin  was  krad&f  into 
its  hearse  by  /the  Welsh 
Guards  at  the  fow  of  the  west 
door  steps,  white  the  Royal 
family  watched  silently.  A 
procession  of  five  Mack  limou- 
sines crawled  from  the 
chapel's  Horseshoe  Cloister 
on  the  last  journey  of  all, 
through  Windsor  Home 
Park's  private  roads,  away 
from  all  public  gaze,  to  the 
waiting  plot  at  nearby 
Frogmore. 

The  Duchess's  final  com- 
panions were  the  Queen,  the

'ales,  her  old 
friend  and  contemporary 
Grace,  Countess  of  Dudley, 
her  butler  M Gaston  Sanegre 
and  his  wife,  her  physician  Dr 
Jean  Thin,  and  four  other 
devoted  members  of  her  house- 
hold staff  who  in  her  last 
infirm  years  were  her  only 
contact  with  the  world. 

Away  from  all  other  eyes  the 
Dean  of  Windsor  uttered  the 
last  simple  words  of  Christian 
burial,  and  the  Lord  Chamber- 
lain,  die  Earl  of  Alrlie,  scat- 
tered the  English  earth  on  the 
coffin. 

Later  in  the  day.  her  plot 
beside  her  beloved  David  was 
a profusion  of  flowers:  wreaths 
of  white  from  other  members 
of  the  Koyal  family  and  from 
10  Downing  Street; 

Frogmore  wifi  be  opened  to 
the  pnblk  on  May  21. 

From  a life  that  was  public, 
complex,  controversial  and  of- 
ten unkind,  it  was  a private, 
simple  and  dignified  departure 
to  be  reunited  with  the  man 
she  loved  so  much.  It  was, 
most  of  afi,  the  last  page  of  an 
extraordinary  love  story.  Wal- 
lis, Duchess  of  Windsor,  want- 
ed it  that  way.

ADR  tax 
reduced 
to  1.5% 

By  Our  Economics 
Correspondent 

The  Treasury  yesterday  re- 
sponded to  criticism  of  its 
controversial  5 per  cent  con- 
version tax  on  American  De- 
positary Receipts  (ADRs)  by 
reducing  the  rate  to  1.5  per 
cent. 

The  reduction  was  an- 
nounced by  Mr  John 
MacGregor.  Chief  Secretary  to 
the  Treasury,  during  the  sec- 
ond reading  of  the  Finance 
Bill  in  the  Commons. 

He  said  thaL  in  the  light  of 
representations  received  since 
the  Budget.  11  had  been  decid- 
ed that  a rate  of  1 .5  per  cent 
was  sufficient  to  prevent 
avoidance  of  stamp  duty  by- 
British  institutions. 

.ADRs  are  British  and  other 
non-US  shares  denominated 
in  dollars  and  packaged  in 
amounts  familiar  to  US'  inves- 
tors. About  16  per  cent  of  lCI’s 
shares  are  held  in  this  form. 

The  Treasury  has  main- 
tained that  the  proposed  5 per 
cent  conversion  lax  on  ADRs. 
announced  in  the  March  18 
Budget,  was  not  to  prevent  US 
investors  holding  British 
shares  in  ADR  form,  but  to 
stop  British  investors  avoid- 
ing stamp  duly  by  doing  so. 

The  Chancellor  of  the  Ex- 
chequer. Mr  Nigel  Lawson, 
said  in  a written  Parliamenta- 
ry answer  that  he  had  re- 
examined the  rate  of  tax 
needed  to  eliminate  the  incen- 
tive to  avoid  stamp  duty  by- 
British  investors,  and  had 
decided  that  1 .5  per  cent  was 
appropriate  both  to  do  this 
3nd  to  provide  recompense  for 
any  lost  stamp  duty  revenue 
remaining 

The  1.5  per  cent  rate  will 
apply  to  alt  British  shares  in 
bearer  form. 

Mr  Lawson  also  announced 
seven-day  exemption  from 
stamp  duty  for  broker-dealers, 
and  the  removal  of  stamp  duty 
from  most  loan  stocks 
The  protest  lobby  against 
the  ADR  tax  — it  included  JCJ 
- had  proposed  an  alternative 

which  would  have  penalized 

only  British  users  of  ADRs.

become  of  increasing  concern 
over  the  last  few  years  as  bad 
debts  have  escalated. 

Scrimgeour  Vickers,  the 
stockbroker,  has  carried  nnt 
what  it  claims  is  the  first 
comprehensive  survey  of  the 
controls  banks  impose  on  their 
lending  and  the  criteria  they 
impose  on  lending  decisions. 

The  survey  concludes  that 
NafV\  est's  method  of  double 
checking  helps  put  it  far  ahead 
Ilf  the  Other  three  clearer?  in 
maintaining  the  qnality  of  |,s 
loan**. 

The  NatWest  system  means 
that  ail  but  the  smallest  loans 
are  assessed  both  by  a lending 


guidelines  and  more  detailed 
controls  on  off-balance  sheet 
risk  and  country  risk  than 
most  of  its  competitors. 

NatWest  tends  to  take  more 
risks,  such  as  making  100  per 
cent  loans  on  construction 
projects  where  other  banks 
lend  less,  bat  the  differences 
between  the  banks'  lending 
criteria  are  less  significant 
than  nn  other  lending  controls, 
the  review  says. 

Midland  comes  off  second 
besL  largely  because  of  im- 
provements after  its  disastrous 
investment  in  Crocker  Nation- 
al. the  US  bank. 

Evidence  of  Midland's  im- 


provement is  that  it  now  has  a 
340-strong  Internal  Audit  and 
Inspection  Department  which 
did  nut  exist  before  the  Crock- 
er investment.  It  has  also  set 
ap  a Risk  Management  Divi- 
sion in  the  last  two  years. 

But  Seri  ingeo  Dr  Vickers 
warn  that  it  takes  time  for 
improved  controls  to  percolate 
through  to  the  general  quality 
of  loans  and  that  Midland  had 
suspect  loans  which  could  still 
cause  significant  problems. 

Barclays  and  Lloyds  are 
criticized  for  having  no  inde- 
pendent finance  director  on 
their  boards  who  is  responsi- 
ble for  prudential  controls 
rather  than  lending. . 

Barclays's  lending  control 
mechanism  tends  to  be  domi- 
nated b>  committees  which 
produce  “uninspiring"  results. 

Lloyds  b introducing  a so- 
phisticated new  "capital  allo-

little  time  yet  to  affect  the 
lending  portfolio.

Bank  plays  it  safe  with 
new  debt  market 


The  Government  has  finally  given 
the  go-ahead  to  the  long-awaited 
sterling  commercial  paper  market, 
allowing  companies  to  issue  short- 
term debt  securities  of  between  seven 
days  and  one  year  under  their  own 
name.  The  move  adds  another 
weapon  to  the  armoury  of  corporate 
financing  arrangements  and  could 
lead  to  a multi-billion  pound  market 
if  it  takes  off  in  this  country  as  it  has 
donein  the  US  in  recent  years. 

John  MacGregor.  Chief  Secretary 
to  the  Treasury,  yesterday  told  Par- 
liament during  the  Finance  Bill 
debale  that  the  Banking  Act  restric- 
tions on  companies  issuing  iheirown 
debt  instruments  ofless  than  one  year 
would  be  swept  away.  The  Bank  of 
England  followed  up  swiftly  with  a 
detailed  list  of  rules  laying  out  the 
framework  of  the  new  market  — and 
the  list  makes  interesting  reading.  It 
makes  dear  that  the  Bank  is  taking  no 
risks  and  prefers  a policy  of  gradually 
loosening  the  screws  rather  than  an 
immediate  free-for-ail. 

Companies  allowed  to  issue 
commercial  paper  will  only  be  those 
with  a Stock  Exchange  listing  and  net 
assets  of  at  least  £50  million.  Wholly- 
owned  subsidiaries  of  such  compa- 
nies can  issue  paper  as  long  as  it  is 
guaranteed  by  the  parent.  Banks, 
building  societies  and  licensed  de- 
posit-lakers. on  the  other  hand,  may 
not  issue  commercial  paper  on  the 
grounds  that  they  already  have  access 
to  certificates  of  deposit  Their  role 
will  be  limited  to  managing  and 
guaranteeing  commercial  paper  pro- 
grammes. 

To  ensure  that  the  new  market 
remains  purely  professional,  the 
minimum  issue  size  is  set  at  £500.000 
— enough  to  discourage  even  the 
most  adventurous  private  investors. 
This  will  help  to  get  round  the 
problem  of  prospectuses.  The 
Companies  Act  requires  all  compa- 
nies to  publish  a prospectus  with 
every'  issue  of  debt  securities.  This  is 
an  impossibly  cumbersome  require- 
ment for  a short-term  market  like 
commercial  paper  and  will  be  modi- 
fied in  the  forthcoming  Financial 
Serv  ices  Act  later  this  year.  But  in  the 


meantime,  the  Companies  Act  does 
allow  the  issue  of  securities  without . 
prospectuses  as  long  as  they  are  sold 
only  to  professional  investors. 

The  rule  which  will  cause  the  most 
disappointment,  though,  is  certain  lo 
be  that  limiting  the  management  of 
commercial  paper  programmes  only 
to  banks  and  licensed  deposit-takers 
incorporated  in  the  UK..  The  Bank 
insists  that  this  is  a purely  temporary 
measure  against  the  time  (unlikely  to 
be  in  the  near  future)  when  banking 
supervision  rules  are  the  same 
throughout  the  world. 

In  the  meantime,  it  can  only  ensure 
a level  playing  field  by  limiting  the 
game  to  those  under  its  own  super- 
vision. although  it  has  left  open  the 
possibility  of  making  exceptions  of 
individual  institutions.  Llnfortu- 
naiely.  by  excluding  many,  such  as 
the  US  securities  houses  with  their 
wide  experience  of  the  US  market, 
the  Bank  may  be  holding  back  the 
early  development  of  the  commercial 
paper  market  in  this  country. 

The  Government's  move  received 
a predictably  warm  welcome  in  the 
City.  Most  of  the  clearing  and 
merchant  banks  have  been  building 
up  commercial  paper  teams  over  the 
past  few  months,  and  there  is  clearly  a 
demand  for  the  new  market  from 
commercial  borrowers.  Commercial 
paper,  after  all,  is  fast,  flexible  and 
fairly  cheap  in  comparison  to  other 
short-term  funding  options. 

But  there  is  unlikely  to  be  a sudden 
bonanza.  Banks  will  advise  their 
clients  to  move  cautiously  at  least 
until  the  wrinkles  of  the  Bank  of 
England  rulebook  have  been  ironed 
out  and  until  the  market  has  devel- 
oped an  efficient  pricing  mechanism. 

And  no!  everyone  will  need  the 
new  market.  The  large  trading 
corporations  — the  ICIs  of  this  world 
— will  probably  find  that  bankers 
acceptances  are  still  a cheaper  form  of 
short-term  borrowing.  While  many 
borrowers  may  hurry  lo  announce 
commercial  paper  programmes  (giv- 
ing them  an  issuing  facility),  the 
amount  of  paper  actually  issued  early 
on  is  likely  to  be  small. 


No  words  over  the  figures 


The  Industrial  Trends  Survey,  now 
published  quarterly  by  the  Confed- 
eration of  British  Industry,  has 
acquired  all  the  respectability  suit- 
able to  a barometer  which  has  just 
given  its  hundredth  reading.  The 
survey,  based  on  questionnaires  filled 
in  by  nearly  1 ,600  firms,  has  found  its 
way  into  the  corridors  of  official 
statistics.  Its  findings  are  incor- 
porated into  the  Central  Statistical 
Office's  indices  of  longer-leading, 
shorter-leading  and  coincident  in- 
dicators of  the  state  of  the  British 
economy,  as  well  as  in  the  composite 
survey  of  business  sentiment  in 
Europe  compiled  by  the  European 
Commission. 

More  controversially,  the  CBFs 
monthly  trends  inquiry  is  now  used 
by  government  statisticians  to  boost 
the  monthly  statistics  of  manufac- 
turing output,  whose  initial  down- 
ward bias  has  been  a source  of 
irritation  to  Treasury  ministers:  an 


intriguing  example  of  government 
preference  for  private-sector  inform- 
ation to  the  product  of  its  own  fact- 
finding machine. 

There  is  a further  example:  in  its  re- 
cent Budget  forecast,  the  Treasury 
openly  plumped  for  CBI  evidence 
that  investment  will  continue  to  rise 
strongly,  in  preference  to  the  gloom- 
ier results  of  lhe  investment  in- 
tentions survey  carried  out  by  the 
Department  of  Trade  and  Industry. 

Such  touching  faith  in  the  statis- 
tical prowess  of  the  CBI  contrasts 
starkly  with  the  Treasury's  view  of 
the  CBI's  economic  prescriptions. 
Although  relations  between  the 
employers'  organization  and  the 
Government  are  gentler  than  in  the 
days  when  bare  knuckles  were 
clenched  in  front  of  Mrs  Thatcher, 
the  CBI's  views  on  the  need  for  lower 
interest  rates,  membership  of  the 
European  Monetary  System  and 
public  investment  packages  are  a 
series  of  thorns  in  government  flesh.

1985/86 

RESULTS 


“1  am  delighted  that  the  Board  have  been  able  to 
justify  the  support  and  confidence  of  share- 
holders. Profits  have  risen  by  19.8%  to  an  all  time 
record  of  £27.4m  (1984/85:  £22.9m)  and  the 
proposed  final  dividend  of  2.5p  will  bring  the  total 
dividend  for  the  year  to  4p  per  ordinary 
share  (1984/85:  3.  Ip  per  share).  I look  to  a satis- 
factory increase  in  earnings  and  dividend  in  the 
current  year" 

“Intensive  planning  has  resumed  on  the  expansion 
of  the  Group.  This  process  will  receive  consider- 
able impetus  from  the  recent  recruitment  of 
Geoffrey  Maddrell  to  be  Managing  Director  of 
the  Group.  He  brings  a proven  experience  of 
business  development  which  will  be  of  great 
benefit  to  us  in  this  next  phase  of  Tootal's  profit- 
able growth  to  the  continuing  benefit  of  its 
shareholders,  managers  and  employees."

The  star  performer  in  1 985 
was  housebuilding.  More 
than  9,000  houses  were  sold 
compared  with  7.128  in  1984, 
allowing  a 44  per  cent  in- 
crease in  pre-interest  profit  to 
£34.7  million.  Tarmac  ex- 
pects to  build  more  than 
10.000  homes  in  1986,  and  it 
looks  forward  to  ousting

the  offer  for  sale,  the  gearing

The  high  level  of  borrow- 
ings reflects  both  the  histori- 
cal lack  of  retained  earnings 
as  a privately  owned  compa- 
ny and  the  size  of  the  land 
bank.  Assuming  Westbury

Index  soars  by  nearly  26  points 


are  plans  to  branch  out  into 
low-cosi  local  authority  hous- 
ing and  retirement  homes. 
And  the  non-executive  chair- 
man, Mr  David  Winch,  for- 
merly of  Tarmac,  has  plenty 
of  acquisition  ideas. 

At  I45p.  the  shares  are 
being  offered  on  12.6  times 
pro  forma  historic  earnings 
which  is  low  enough  to 
ensure  a wide  spread  of 
investment  interest. 

Tootal 

Tooial  promised  its  share- 
holders £27  million  pretax 
profit  for  the  year  to  January 
31  as  pan  of  its  defence 
against  the  unwelcome  bid 
from  Enlrad,  the  Australian 
textile  group. 

Shareholders'  loyalty  was 
vindicated  yesterday  when 
Tooial  announced  a pretax 
profit  of  £27.4  million.  20  per 
cent  above  the  I9S4/5  result 
of  £22.9  million. 

The  share  price  now  stands 
at  102p,  well  above  the  78p 
Entrad  got  for  the  sale  of  its 
holding  when  it  finally  aban- 
doned its  interest  in  Tooial 
towards  the  end  of  last  year. 

Beating  off  the  bid  ab- 
sorbed a considerable 
amount  of  management  time 
and  effort,  but  with  the 
appointment  of  Mr  Geoffrey 
Madrell  earlier  this  year,  the 
stage  is  now  set  for  more 
aggressive  expansion. 

After  the  management 
changes,  Tootal  sees  its  main 
strength  as  being  an  interna- 
tional textile  company.  In  a 
business  where  costs  are  ev- 
erything, the  ability  to  obtain 
materials  from  the  cheapest 
source  is  key  to  market 
leadership. 

Tootal  is  one  of  the  world's 
largest  sewing  thread  suppli- 
ers. Thread,  which  accounts 
for  more  than  50  per  cent  of 
pre-interest  profit,  showed  a 
14  per  cent  decline  in  1 985/6, 
due  entirely  to  adverse  cur-  , 
rency  movements. 

Approximately  50  per  cent 
of  textiles  profits  of  £8.5 
million  was  earned  from  the 
supply  of  waxed  batik  fabric, 
mainly  to  West  Africa. 

Excluding  batik.  Tootal's 
position  in  textiles  is  small 
but  profitable. 

Low  cost  sources  are  also 
important  in  the  clothing 
sector  where  profits  nearly 
doubled  in  1985/6  to  £3.9 
million.  In  addition  to  sup- 
plying Maries  and  Spencer, 
Tootal  raenswear  and  Raysil 
and  Slimma  womenswear  are 
the  main  activities. 

Assuming  further  pretax 
profit  advances  to  £29  mil- 
lion in  1986/7,  Tootal  is  on  a 
prospective  multiple  of  10.4 
times  earnings.  With  a yield 
of  53  percent,  the  shares  are 
strongly  supported. 


Institutional  investors  re- 
turned in  force  yesterday, 
encouraged  by  a firm  Wall 
Street,  the  strong  pound, 
hopes  that  the  ADR  tax 
penalty  would  be  relaxed  (it 
was)  and  the  general  health  of 
the  economy  in  the  shape  of 
falling  inflation  and  cheaper 
borrowing. 

The  FT  30-share  index  rose 
by  25.9  points  to  1.391.2  — 
one  of  the  highest  one-day 
rises  on  record  — while  the  FT- 
SE  100  climbed  by  27.5  to 
1.656.3. 

Cheerful  profits  news  from 
the  building  groups  Blue  Cir- 
cle and  Tarmac  were  addition- 
al stimulants. 

Bine  Circle  led  the  field  with 
a 43p  jump  to  7I6p,  helped  by 
better-ihan-cxpected  profits 
and  the  absence  of  a rumoured 
rights  issue.  Tarmac  produced 
profits  up  by  24  per  cent, 
taking  the  shares  Sp  higher  at 
486p. 

Guinness,  recently  de- 
pressed by  the  battle  for 
Distillers,  rebounded  I7p  to 
3l3p.  ICI  jumped  1 5p  to  934p 
on  hopes  that  the  ADR  tax 
will  be  reduced  and  two  other 
US  favourites.  Jaguar  at  466p 
and  Renters  4S8p,  improved 
by  about  I2p  for  a similar 

UK  fights 
for  Euro 
office 

By  Teresa  Poole 

The  Government  yesterday 
launched  an  aggressive  cam- 
paign to  win  Britain  its  first 
permanent  European  Econom- 
ic Community  office  with  a list 
of  four  possible  London  sites 
for  the  community  trade 
marks  office. 

Stiff  competition  is  expected 
from  Germany,  the  Nether- 
lands and  France,  but  British 
officials  argue  that  it  is 
Britain's  turn  to  provide  a 
major  community  facility. 

The  Government  has  also 
made  it  dear  that  financial 
support  — such  as  rates  and 
rent  holidays  — will  be  avail- 
able if  London  is  the  chosen 
location. 

The  proposed  sites  are  St 
Katherine  by  the  Tower, 
Cockspur  Street  SWL,  Central 
Harrow  and  Central  Croydon. 
Apart  from  the  Cockspur 
Street  scheme,  which  would 
involve  a refurbishment,  the 
proposals  are  for  new  purpose- 
built  offices  at  a cost  of  about 
£15  million. 

The  site  considered  most 
suitable  will  be  put  forward 
when  bids  from  member  states 
are  formally  invited  by  the 
community  in  about  three 
months'  time.  This  is  the  first 
time  that  the  Government  has 
lobbied  so  fiercely  for  a com- 
munity office. 


Redfeam 

recovery 

continues 

By  Richard  Lander 

Redfeam  National  Glass 
gave  further  confirmation  of 
its  recovery  yesterday  by  de- 
daring  an  interim  dividend  for 
the  first  time  in  four  years. 

The  Yorkshire  manufactur- 
er of  glass  and  plastic  contain- 
ers is  paying  15p  a share  after 
turning  in  a pretax  profit  of 
£306,000  in  the  six  months  to 
March  30  against  a loss  of 
£688.000  in  the  same  period 
last  year. 

The  encouraging  first  ha 
follows  a strong  second  six 
months  last  year  which  result- 
ed in  a £1.08- million  annual 
pretax  profit  and  a 2p  final 
dividend. 

Both  the  glass  and  the 
plastics  divisions  emerged 
from  the  red  in  the  first  half 
hot  Mr  Arthur  Church,  the 
chief  executive,  said  overca- 
pacity in  the  glass  container 
market  had  led  to  stiff  compe- 
tition. This  prevented  price 
increases  planned  for  January 

Describing  the  dividend  as  a 
cautions  one,  Mr  Church  said: 
“Until  we  know  what  is  going 
to  happen  to  competition  in  the 
glass  industry,  we  would  like 
to  have  a full  year's  results 
under  our  belts  before  deciding 
our  dividend  policy". 

He  also  said  Redfeam's 
financial  situation  had  im- 
proved after  the  £1.65  million 
refund  from  company  pension ■ 
schemes  allowed  last  October! 
by  the  Inland  Revenue.! 
Redfeam  shares,  which  have 
more  than  doubled  in  the  last, 
six  months,  added  12p  after! 
the  results  hot  slipped  back  tol 
dose  unchanged  at  211p.  I 


reason.  Wellcome  recovered 
6p  to  1 9 ! p ahead  of 
Thursday's  interim  statement. 

In  contrast.  Beecham  fell  8p 
to  405p  as  the  ICI  chairman 
dampened  recent  bid  specula- 
tion. In  firm  eleciricals.  GEC 
rose  14p  to  208p  as  de  Zoete 
recommended  the  shares  to 
institutions.  Hanson  Trust  ral- 
lied !2p  to  179p  after  recent 
weakness  caused  by  the  Imps 
acquisition. 

Strong  banks  had  Natwest 
up  20p  to  8S5p  after  the 
chairman's  optimistic  state- 
ment at  the  annual  meeting. 
Lloyds  Bank,  which  has  sold 
its  Californian  interests  for 
£170  million,  was  I5p  higher 
at  609p.  Insurances  scored 


gains  into  double  figures,  with 
Royal  1 Sp  up  at  932p. 

Marks  and  Spencer  gave  up 
2p  to  2I4p.  ahead  of  results 
next  month,  while  Tate  and 
Lyle,  reporting  ioday.  lost  Sp 
to  633p. 

Costain,  anticipating 
todai's  figures,  improved  by 
I6p  to  532p.  British  Aero- 
space at  S60p.  up  lOp  and 
Burmah.  20p  higher  at  358p. 
reflected  favourable  recom- 
mendations from  at  least  three 
big  brokers. 

The  reorganization  plans 
announced  on  Monday  boost- 
ed Johnson  Matthey  by  a 
further  I7p  to  l80p.  Farnell 
gained  ?p  to  2l0p  ahead  of 
today's  figures  and  9.5  million

London 
listing  for 
US  Life 

By  Alison  Eadie 

US  Life  Corporation,  a life 
assurance  company  valued  at 
$850  million  (£550  million) 
on  the  New  York  Stock  Ex- 
change, will  obtain  a London 
listing  for  its  shares  today. 
KJeinwon  Benson,  the  mer- 
chant bank,  is  handling  the 
introduction. 

US  Life  wants  access  to 
European  money  markets  to 
lake  advantage  of  lower  inter- 
est rates  in  repladng  its  debL 
The  listing  will  also  increase 
the  company's  exposure  to  the 
international  investment 
community,  according  to  Mr 
Gordon  Crosby,  chairman 
and  chief  executive. 

US  Life  already  has  several 
European  institutional  shares 
holders,  but  it  has  no  immedi- 
ate intention  of  selling  its 
products  in  Europe.  With  hs 
base  in  New  York.  US  Life  is 
one  of  the  relatively  few 
American  life  companies  to  do 
business  in  all  50  states. 

The  company  intends  to 
maintain  its  10-year  record  of 
an  annual  15  per  cent  return 
to  shareholders,  including 
share  appreciation  and 
dividends. 

Net  income  in  1985  was 
$76.2  million,  up  6.3  percent 
on  1984.  Net  income  in  the 
first  quarter  of  1986  was  $27.1 
million  against  $16.5  million.

FINANCE  AND  INDUSTRY/Law 


Start-up  entrepreneurs 
face  a cut  in  salary 


21 


The  1986  entrepreneur  is 
most  likely  to  be  an  ex- 
manager,  aged  over  35,  with  a 
professional  qualification  or 
degree  and  about  £50,000  to 
invest  Taking  the  entrepre- 
neurial route  -will  also  proba- 
bly mean  taking  a cut  m 
salary.  . 

A major  problem  is  lack  of 
both  personal  and  external 
finance.  So,  less  expectedly,  is 
die  Lack  of  a suitable  manage- 
ment team,  identified  as  a 
fnoblem  by  40  per  cent  of 
those  in  a new  survey  profiling 
the  typical  entrepreneur. 

The  survey,  by  Mori,  the 
pollster,  covered  entrepre- 
neurs receiving  help  from  the 
British  Venture  Capital  Asso- 
ciation, which  commissioned 
it  One  in  three  of  the  entre- 
preneurs identified  quality 
and  drills  of  management  as  a 
major  problem. 

According  to  the  survey,“If 
you  wish  to  raise'  venture 
capital  you  will  need  a proven 
management  team  and  be 


By  Derek  Harris,  Industrial  Editor 


prepared  to  invest  a signifi- 
cant sum  personally  and  to 
take  a salary  cut  Having  done 
this,  you  should  be  able  to 
look,  forward  to  a major 
growth  in  your  investment  - 
and  a lot  of  hard  work." 

Personal  investment  by  en- 
trepreneurs varies  considera- 
bly- One  in  four  invested  less 
than  £10,000  and  one  in  seven 
more  than  £100.000.  The  in- 
vestments seem  to  have  been 
successful,  with  about  half 
those  surveyed  valuing  their 
present  stakes  at  more  than 
£200,000,  while  one  in  five 
thought  their  shares  were 
worth  more  than  £1  million. 

Excluding  the  investment  in 
their  own  businesses  and  any 
pension  fund  entitlements, 
half  those  questioned  estimat- 
ed their  persona!  net  worth  at 
more  than  £200,0001 

Most  seemed  content  with 
growth  in  the  value  of  their 
shares  rather  than  taking  high 
salaries.  About  64  per  cent 
have  annual  salaries  — includ- 


ing the  effect  of  fringe  benefits 
— of  less  than  £43.000  while 
another  23  per  cent  are  in  the 
£40.000  to  £60,000  bracket. 
Only  1 per  cent  receive  more 
than  £100,000. 

One  in  three  of  those  sur- 
veyed identified  taking  a sala- 
ry out  and  lack  of  financial 
skills  as  problems.  But  few 
were  worried  about  loss  of 
status,  family  opposition  or  a 
lack  of  suitable  business  ideas. 

Injections  of  venture  capital 
led  to  turnover  increases  in 
three  out  of  four  ventures,  and 
half  reported  a big  effect  on 
numbers  employed.  On  aver- 
age it  meant  taking  on  be- 
tween 30  and  40  workers. 

About  60  per  cent  of  those 
in  the  survey  had  increased 
their  investment  in  product 
development,  improved  their 
sales  and  marketing  effective- 
ness and  enlarged  their  pro- 
duction capacity.  But  four  out 
of  10  felt  that  finding  addi- 
tional capital  could  pose  a big 
problem. 


Computer  voice  gives  rating 


A speaking  computer  is 


By  Our  Industrial  Editor 


„ .__nput 

being  used  in  a low  cost 
company  information  service 
on  offer  from  today  by  Dun  & 
Bradstreet,  which  claims  to  be 
the  world’s  biggest  credit  refer- 
ences agency. 

The  agency  has  been  operat- 
ing a similar  service  from  its 
United  States  headquarters 
for  two  years,  but  it  says  that 
this  is  the  first  time  the  latest 
voice  technology  has  been 
used  for  credit  references  in 
Britain. 


The  telephone  service, 
called  DunsVoice,  uses  the 
recorded  voice  of  a British 
actress.  Information  is  given 
on  such  hems  as  a company’s 
credit  rating,  its  latest  ac- 
counts and  whether  it  has 
county  court  judgments 
against  it  This  enables  an 
assessment  to  be  made  on 
whether  it  would  be  an  accept- 
able company  with  which  to 
do  business. 

Normally  a credit  search  on 
a company  costs  from  £1 5 but 


the  new  service  will  mean  an 
average  cost  of  £6  to  £7. 

It  would  enable  frequent 
checks  on  a company  to  be 
made,  and  should  be  especial- 
ly useful  to  those  like  whole- 
salers dealing  with  a large 
number  of  comparatively 
small  accounts. 

Dun  & Bradstreet  has  about 
1 .4  million  British  limited 
companies  on  its  database, 
and  subscribers  to  its  service 
have  to  pay  a minimum  of 
£150  to  buy  units,

Law  Report  April  30  1986 


Commission’s  disclosure  of 


finance  plans  is  lawful 


▼ Monopolies  aad 
Mergers  Commission,  Ex  par- 
te Elders  IXL  Ltd 
Before  Mr  Justice  Mann 
[Judgment  given  April  29] 

The  Monopolies  and  Mergers 
Commission  had  acted  properly 
in  deciding  to  disclose  to  a 
company  being  acquired  the 
details  of  the  bidder's  financing 
plans  which  had  been  submitted 
to  it,  Mr  Justice  Mann  held  in 
the  Queen'S  Bench  Division. 

His  Lordship  dismissed  an 
application  by.  Elders  IXL  Ltd 
for  judicial  review  of  the  de- 
cision by  the  commission  to 
disclose  to  representatives  of 
Aliied-Lyons  pic  the  contents  of 
chapter  7 of  Elders'  submission 
to  the  commission  made  in  the 
course  of  an.  investigation  by  the 
commission  pursuant  to  the 
Fair  Trading  Act  1973  following 
upon  a merger  reference  made 
to  the  commission  on  behalf  of 
the  Secretary  of  State  for  Trade 
and  Industry  under  the  AcL 
Chapter  7 contained  details  of 
new  financing  arrangements  in 
relation  to  Elders'  revised  bid, 
including  how  the  renewed  bid 
would  be  financed,  an  indica- 
tion of  the  final  bid  and  details 
a f how  the  initial  bank  loan 
woold  be  refinanced  on  a longer 
term  basis. 


Mr  Robert  Alexander,  QC. 

“ “ 1 Mr 


Mr  David  Oliver,  QC  and 
Mark  Howard  for  Elders;  Mr 
Mark  Li  Oman,  QC,  Mr  John 
Mummery  and  Mr  Adrian 
Hughes  for  the  commission;  Mr 
John  Swift,  QC  and  Mr  Stephen 
Richards  for  Aliied-Lyons  pic. 


MR  JUSTICE  MANN  said 
that  under  sections  69(1  Kb)  and 
75(2)  and  (4Mc)  of  the  1973  Act 
the  commission  mist  investi- 
gate and  report  upon  the  ques- 
tion whether  the  prospective 
results  of  the  arrangements  in 
contemplation  would,  if  those 
arrangements  had  been  made 
and  the  results  occurred  before 
the  date  of  the  reference,  give 
rise  to  a situation  which  “op- 
erates or  may  be  expected  to 
operate  against  the  public 
interest”. 


copy  oi 

laid  before  Parliament  and  the 
secretary  of  state  would  decide 
whether  the  bid  was  or  was  not 
to  proceed. 

Section  133  contained  general 
restrictions  on  dadosure  of 
information. 

The  commission's  decision 
was  attacked  on  the  ground  that 
the  commission  was  guilty  of 
procedural  impropriety  in  that 
the  decision  to  disclose  was 
unfair  to  Elders  in  that  its 
interest  in  non-disclosure  was 
hot  sufficiently  taken  into  ac- 
count and  on  the  ground  that 
disclosure  would  contravene 
section  133(1)  of  the  Act. 

His  Lordship  formed  the  view 
that  it  was  difficult  to  appreciate 
the  commission's  decision  with- 
out reading  chapter  7.  The 
interests  of  justice  required  that 
it  should  be  disclosed  in  camera. 

There  was  no  dispute  but  that 
in  the  performance  of  its 
inquisitorial  function  the 
commission  must  act  fairly  to 
the  parties  concerned.  Fairness 
.was  a flexible  concept  whose 
content  was  dependent  upon  the 
context  which  was  under 
consideration. 

There  was  no  set  of  rules  of 
fairness  which  was  applicable  to 
all  investigative  processes. 
There  was  no  general  rule  that 
one  party  to  an  investigation 
should  be  given  an  the  material 
submitted  by  another  party. 

What  was  fair  in  relation  to  a 
particular  process  and  to  a 
particular  situation  was  for 
determination  by  the  court.  ( 

The  complaint  was  that  the 
commission  focused  upon  fair- 
ness to  Allied  and  did  not 
sufficiently  take  account  of  die 
disproportionate  harm  which 
could  thereby  be  caused  to 
Eiders  by  a revelation  of  the 
financial  arrangements. 

Those  considerations  of  fair- 
ness arose  in  the  course  of  a 
statutory  investigation  as  to 
what  was  not  or  was  in  the 
public  interest. 

It  was  plain  from  what  his 
Lordship  heard  in  camera  that 
the  commission  was  of  the  view 


that  it  could  not  perform  its 
investigative  function  without 
knowing  Allied's  views  upon  the 
consequences  for  the  business  of 
the  arrangement  in  chapter  7. 
That  view  was  not  attacked  as 
irrational. 

The  commission  considered 
whether  its  objective  could  be 
achieved  and  the  detriment 
Elders  might  suffer  be  avoided 
by  means  of  a formulation  of 
questions  to  Allied.  The 
commission  had  concluded  that 
its  objective  could  not  be  so 
achieved. 

The  commission  was  correct 


in  subordinating  a perceived 
detriment  to  its  judgment  of 


how  best  to  perform  ns  statutory 
There 


functions.  There  was  no  sugges- 
tion that  the  subordination  was 
irrational  or  otherwise  than  in 
good  frith. 

Turning  to  the  argument 
founded  on  section  1 33.  the 
question  was  whether  the  excep- 
tion in  subsection  (2Xa)applied- 
That  provided  that  the  restric- 
tion on  disclosure  of  informa- 
tion in  subsection  (I)  did  not 
apply  to  any  disclosure  of  j 
information  which  was  made 
“for  the  purpose  of  facilitating 
the  performance  of*  any  func- 
tions of  the  commission. 


The  exception  was  not  drawn 
as  “for  facilitating”  but  as  “for 
the  purpose  of  facilitating”.  The 
former  form  would  require  an 
objective  examination  of] 
whether  disclosure  did  or  did 
not  facilitate.  The  latter  form 
involved  an  inquiry  as  to  what 
ihe  commission  had  in  mind. 


The  commission's  intention 
was  to  facilitate  the  performance 
of  its  functions.  It  was  not 
suggested  that  the  intention  was 
either  irrational  or  formula  led 
in  bad  frith. 

It  would  be  unfortunate  if  the 
commission  were  to  be  put  in 
peril  of  exercises  in  objectivity 
by  the  court  during  the  course  of  I 
discharging  the  difficult  func- 
tions put  upon  it  by  the  Act.

Proving  false  statement  in  perjury 


Regina  v Rider 

Before  Lord  Justice  MustiU,  Mr 
Justice  Hodgson  and  Mr  Justice 
Wood 

Judgment  given  April  25] 

In  an  action  for  perjury  where 
the  prosecution  set  out  to  prove 
that  a statement  was  untrue  and 
did  not  invite  a conviction  on 
any  other  basis,  the  trial  judge 


the  qualification  that  if  the 
defendant  admitted  that  the 
statement  was  untrue,  the 
prosecution  did  not  need  to  call 
any  evidence  to  prove  that,  and 
section  13  would  not  apply. 

The  Court  of  Appeal  so  held 
in  dismissing  an  appeal  against 
conviction  brought  by  Theresa 
Ann  Rider  against  her  convic- 
tion under  section  1(1)  of  the 
1911  Act 

The  appellant  had  obtained  a 
divorce  by  filling  in  the 
acknowledgement  of  service 
document  intended  for  the 
respondent  spouse,  and  by  forg- 
ing her  husband's  signature.  She 
appealed  against  conviction  on 
the  ground  that  there  was  a 
misdirection  in  law  in  that  the 
judge  failed  to  refer  the  jury  lo 
section  13  of  the  1911  Act. 

Section  1 3 states:  “A  person 
shall  not  be  liable  to  be  con- 
victed of  any  offence  under  this 
Act . . - solely  upon  the  evidence 
of  one  witness  as  to  the  falsity  of 
any  state  merit  alleged  to  be 
false”. 

Miss  Zoe  Smith,  assigned  by 
the  Registrar  of  Criminal  Ap- 
peals for  the  appellant;  Mr 

Martin  Heslop  for  the  prosecu- 
tion. 


1(1)  and  section  13.  The  latter 
simply  required  more  than  one 
witness  “as  to  the  falsity  of  any 
statement  alleged  to  be  false”. 

Thus,  in  throe  very  rare  cases 
where  the  prosecution  elected  to 
proceed  on  the  basis  that  the 
truth  or  falsehood  of  the  state- 
ment formed  no  part  of  their 
case,  section  13  did  not  apply 
and  there  was  no  need  for  any 
direction  on  the  point. 

In  all  other  cases,  however, 
where  the  prosecution  did  set 
out  to  prove  that  the  statement 
in  question  was  untrue,  and  did 
not  invite  a conviction  on  any 
other  basis,  the  trial  judge 
should,  subject  to  one  important 
qualification,  always  bring  sec- 
tion 13  to  the  attention  of  the 
jury. 

The  qualification  was  that  if 
the  defendant  admitted  that  the 
statement  was  untrue,  the 
prosecution  did  not  need  to  call 
any  evidence  to  prove  that  fact. 
Section  13  would  not  apply  and 
there  was  no  place  for  a direc- 
tion on  the  matter. 


in  the  instant  case  there  was  | 
no  doubt  that  the  prosecution 
set  out  to  prove  that  the 
statement  was  untrue.  Thus 
there  was  a need  for  more  than  1 
one  witness  to  prove  the  un- 
truth. and  a corresponding  need 
for  a direction  on  the  subject, 
unless  it  coutd  fairly  be  said  no 
longer  to  have  been  in  issue, 
when  the  time  came  for  the 
judge  to  direct  the  jury. 

Unfortunately  it  was  impos- 
sible to  know  with  certainly 
what  happened  at  the  trial.  The 
court  was  therefore  constrained 
to  hold  lhal  there  should  have 
been  a direction  on  section  13. 

However,  it  was  inconceiv- 
able that  if  the  jury  had  been 
given  a short  direction  on 
section  13.  they  would  not  have 
found,  in  the  other  evidence  led 
by  the  prosecution,  sufficient 
material  to  corroborate  the  ev- 
idence of  the  husband  on  a 
matter  which  was  only  tech- 
nically in  issue.

Error  in  committal 


Regina  v Blyth  VaBey  Jus- 
tices. Ex  parte  Fawcns 
A defendant  in  full  committal 
proceedings  was  entitled  to  call 
witnesses  in  his  defence  without 
giving  evidence  himself,  the 
Queen's  Bench  Divisional 
Court  (Lord  Justice  Glidewell 
and  Mr  Justice  Schiemann)  held 
on  April  21  when  granting  an 


application  for  judicial  review 
the  justices'  de- 


and  quashing 

cision  to  commit  the  applicant 
for  trial  at  the  crown  court. 


LORD  JUSTICE  MU  STILL 
said  lhal  there  was  no  true 
inconsistency  between  section 


LORD  JUSTICE  GLIDE- 
WELL  said  that  the  justices  took 
the  view  that  rule  7(10)  of  the 


Magistrates'  Courts  Rules  (SI 
)98l  No  552  |LI)>  which  pro- 
vided I ha!  **. . . the  court  shot)

nity to  give  evidence  himself  | 
ana  to  call  witnesses”  should  be 
read  conjunctively  and  that  the 
defendant  could  only  call  ev- 
idence if  giving  evidence  him- 
self. 

That  that  was  wrong  was  clpar 
b>  reference  to  rule  6(2).  The 
fundamental  right  of  an  accused 
not  to  give  evidence  but  to  call 
witnesses  on  his  behalf  was  not 
in  any  way  inhibited.  Rule  7(  10) 
had  lo  be  read  in  conjunction 
with  rule  6(2).

takes  care  of  all  the  ins  and  outs  of 
a mortgage  in  one  complete 
package. 

It  shows  we’re  in  the  mortgage 
market  in  a big  way.  'Ms  yeai; 
we’re  making  one  billion  pounds 
available  for  mortgages. 

You  get  the  Midland 
Mortgage  Certificate. 

This  agrees  your  mortgage  for  the 
amount  stated,  provided  the  property  is 
suitable.  It’s  almost  like  being  a cash  buyer 

But  that’s  just  a part  of  the  package. 
Arrange  a Midland  mortgage  before  the 
end  of  May  1986  and  you  also  get  the 
following; 

V£%  off  your  mortgage  interest 
rate  for  one  year 

This  is  worth  £84.00  before  tax  relief

£5,000,  which  are  granted  for  a maxi- 
mum 10  years,  using  the  Spanish 
purchase  as  collateral. 

Roger  Knights  of  Banco  de  Bilbao

Though  finance  is  made  available  for  ™arbeUa  j"*t  * 10-minute  drive  away.  One,  two  and  three  bedroom  flats  are  for 
properties  already  built,  loans  can  be  sale  from  £46^04  to  £84,000 

authorized,  in  principle,  for  individual 
purchases  within  new  developments' 
under  construction.” 

*-  Marbella  and  neighbouring  Puerto 
Ban  us  continue  to  prove  popular  with 
the  leisured  rich.  The  property  choice  is 
huge;  not  least  because  some  developers 
over-estimated  demand  after  the  1983 
sales  boom. 

Today,  more  and  more  buyers,  espe- 
cially. those  intending  to  spend  some 
months  holidaying  each  year,  prefer  to 
live  ift  a more  tranquil  environment  but 
still  be  near  the  coast. 

Las  Terrazas,  a delightful  develop- 
ment of  apartments  being  built  on  a 
hillside  five  kilometres  above  San  Pedro 
de  Alcantara,  has  the  dual  advantages  of 
being  a 10-minute  drive  from  the 
Marbella  Club  while  eqjoying  a rural 
setting.  It  has  southerly  views  over  the 
Mediterranean  from  its  position  among 
the  rolling  foothills  of  the  Sierra  Blanca. 

The  first  Mode  of  24  units  is  completed 
and  all  are  sold,  while  the  25  apartments 
in  the  second  phase  are  due  for  staged 
completion  this  June,  July  and  Septem- 
. her.  The  scheme  has  been  designed  in 
traditional  Spanish  style  with  old  roof 
tiles  being  incorporated  in  a seemingly 
haphazard  way  creating  an  illusion,  of  an 
Andalusian  cluster  pueblo  — the  more  so 
as  every  home  fas  a different-sized 
balcony  or  terrace  with  the  larger  ones 
wrapped  around  two  sides  of  the 
apartment. 

The  developer  of  Las  Terrazas,  Paul 
Simard,  aims  to  have no.twohomes alike 


so  the  individualist  has  plenty  of  choice. 
Provided  building  is  not  too  fhr  ad- 
vanced, off-plan  buyers  can  choose  the 
floor  tiles,  bathroom  fittings  and  kitchen 
style  they  prefer.  The  apartments  have 
fitted  wardrobes  in  all  bedrooms,  there  is 
a bathroom  for  every  bedroom  and 
marble  flooring  is  standard.  All  have 
working  fireplaces  and  central  healing 
can  be  installed  if  required. 

The  vast  swimming  pool,  set  in 
gardens  overlooked  by  the  apartments, 
and  its  adjacent  clubhouse  is  due  for 
completion  early  this  summer  and  the 
first  of  three  tennis  courts  will  be  started 
by  late  summer. 

Mr  Simard  offers  both  a management 
and  rental  service  and  a full  interior- 
design  facility. 

Eighteen  one,  two  and  and  three 
bedroom  homes  are  for  sale — at  £46.364 
for  the  only  one-bedroom  unit  available, 
between  £49,100  and  £66,800  for  two 
bedrooms  and  £71,800  and  £84,000  for 
three  bedrooms.

In  total  contrast  to  the  sophisticated 
Las  Terrazas  and  its  environs  is  the 
bustling  coastal  town  of  Benalmadena, 


just  eight  kilometres  west  of  Malaga's 
international  airport.  Here.  Chest enons 
are  selling  harbourside  homes  at  the  new 
Marina  Benalmadena,  which  is  two 
minutes'  walk  from  the  main  shopping 
centre  but  situated  in  a self-contained 
environment  overlooking  the  marina, 
which  is  already  complete. 

Forty-eight  of  the  140  apartments 
planned  for  the  first  phase  are  being  built 
at  the  edge  of  the  marina  and  are  grouped 
around  a central  square,  which  mil  have 
small  shops,  bars  and  restaurants. 

The  plan  is  for  the  plaza  to  be  traffic- 
free.  Most  homes  will  have  sea  views  and 
the  scheme  is  adjacent  to  a sandy  beach 
for  the  use  of  residents.  Eventually  it  will 
have  its  own  beach  dub. 

There  will 'be  550  homes  grouped  in 
clusters  around  the  marina  and  pan  of 
the  plan  is  to  create  four  linked  islands, 
each  with  its  own  pueblo  within  the  inner 
harbour.  Marina  Benalmadena  has  been 
designed  to  recreate  the  feel  of  an 
Andalusian  fishing  village  and  berths 
will  be  available  for  purchase. 

Because  of  this  area's  appeal  to  the 
package  holiday  market,  the  rental 
return  should  be  good.  Chestertons 
expect  great  interest  from  the  long-term 
retirement  market  because  the  marina  is 
close  to  the  town  centre  with  all  its 
facilities,  including  a clinic  and  a bus 
route. 

Chestertons  Residential  is  at  116 
Kensington  High  Street,  London  W8 
7RW,  tel:  01-937  7244.

Valuable  Witness,  who  will  be  ideally  suited  by  the  yielding  surface  at  Ascot 


Given  the  right  conditions 
underfoot,  Jeremy  Tree's  inju- 
ry-prone six-year-old  is  as 
good  a slayer  as  there  is  in  the 
country.  He  is  also  capable  of 
winning  first  time  out.  as  he 
proved  Iasi  year.  So  I expect 
him  to  make  another  good 
beginning,  even  though  he 
comes  from  another  stable 
which  is  not  exactly  firing  on 
all  cylinders  yet. 

Spicy  Story,  who  was  one  of 
the  uniuckiest  losers  of  last 
season  in  this  very  race: 
Eastern  Mystic  and  Ramich 
John,  the  Irish  challenger,  who 
has  stayed  over  since  finishing 
a close  third  behind  Supreme 
Leader  at  San  down  last  Satur- 
day, will  undoubtedly  provide 
stiff  opposition,  but  I feel  that 
an  in-form  Valuable  Witness 


will  be  too  strong  for  them  on 
the  prevailing  soft  ground. 

Following  a good  run  in  the 
Newbury  Spring  Cup,  Virgin 
Isle  is  taken  to  win  the 
lnsulpak  Victoria  Cup.  which 
Patrick  Haslam,  his  trainer, 
won  two  years  ago  with 
Mummy's  Pleasure. 

At  Newbury  nothing  was 
going  better  than  Virgin  Isle 

passing  the  seven-furlong 

marker.  However,  he  weak- 
ened towards  the  end  of  the 
eighth  and  last  furlong  and 
finished  fifth.  Bui  he  was  siill 
beaten  only  two  lengths  and  he 
holds  Com  Street  on  that 
running.  He  should  be  hard  to 
beat  over  today's  slightly 
shorter  distance. 

On  the  jumping  front,  I 
expect  Singalong  Sam  to 


prove  a lough  nut  to  crack  in 
the  Haddington  Jubilee  Cup  2i 
Kelso.  The  winner  of  two 
chases  on  the  course  already, 
he  was  far  from  disgraced  at 
Liverpool,  even  though  he  did 
finish  last  of  six  eventually  in 
the  race  won  by  Arctic  Beau. 
The  winner  went  on  lo  run  ihe 
race  of  his  life  in  last 
Saturday's  Whitbread  Gold 
Cup. 

With  Cheerie  Chief.  Coul- 
ters Candy.  Urser.  YougJial 
and  Olive  Press  all  standing 
their  ground,  ihe  SMT  United 
Border  Hunt  Chase  looks  like 
being  a real  treat  in  store  for 
visitors  to  the  Scottish  course. 
My  vote  goes  to  Olive  Press, 
even  though  today's  course 
w as  ihe  scene  of  ihe  only  blot 
on  his  copybook  this  season.

Eighteen  horses  nere  de- 
clared at  yesterday's  four-day 
stage  for  the  General  Accident 
2.000  Guineas  at  Newmarket 
on  Saturday.  They  are: 
Alshinfarah  (A  Murray). 
Dancing  Brave  (G  Starkey), 
Exotic  River  fG  Mossek 
Fa  m com  be  (— ).  Faustns  (S

Despite  a highly  satisfying  1 5- 
». ) 5-3  victory  for  Monen  Frost 
the  All-England  champion,  over 
Han  Jian.  the  world  champion. 
Denmark  could  not  overcome 
the  Asian  dominance  of  the 
Thomas  Cup  world  team 
championships  here  yesterday. 
China's  3-1  winning  lead  took 
them  through  to  the  final  where 
they  will  meet  either  the  holders, 
Indonesia,  or  Malaysia. 

Not  since  1979  have  a Euro- 
pean country  contested  the  final 
and.  with  the  service  of  Isiora 
Senayan.  it  was  alway-s  going  lo 
be  difficult  to  change  ihaL 

Frost,  however,  had  made  il 
look  possible.  Despite  the 
doubts  that  ihe  London-based 
Dane  had  been  uttering  about 
his  fitness,  he  was  physically 
superior  to  the  man  who  beat 
him  surprisingly  in  the  world 
final  at  Calgary  last  year-  ~I  have 
been  playing  poker  with  three 
three's  in'  my  hand."  Frost  said. 
Yesterday  it  looked  more  like 
three  kings. 

From  1U-7  through  to  the  end 
of  the  first  game  Frost  pushed 
fast  clears  out  to  each  comer. 
Has  neat  and  tight  with  his  play 
around  the  net.  and  was  re- 
warded with  a siring  of  un- 
characteristic errors  from  the 
little  Chinese  player  who  is 
normally  steady  and  patient. 

Roger  Johansson,  of  Sweden, 
the  assistant  referee,  came  on  io 
sort  out  the  muddle,  which  was 
compounded  by  Frost  trying  to 
reverse  the  linesman's  decision 
in  his  opponent's  favour.  Such 


generosity  could  be  afforded 
yesterday.  ^ 

But  singles  defeats  for  lb 
Frederiksen  (to  Yang  Yang)  and 
for  Michael  K/cldsen  (to  Xiang 
Cuobal)  homed  Denmark  to 
defeat.Latcr  there  was  another 
Chinese  victory  when  ihwv 
reached  the  Uber  Cup  final  for 
the  second  successive  time  by 
beating  South  Korea's  women- 

When  Denmark  play  England 
and  Sweden  next  season  there 
could  be  a revolution  in  the 
scoring  system.  The  Inter- 
national Badminton  Federation 
agreed  at  their  annual  meeting 
that  these  or  any  other  countries 
would  be  allowed  to  experiment 
with  a shortened  system  of  nine 
points  only  for  five  games,  as  a 
way  of  making  the  sport  more 
attractive  for  television. 

Another  proposal  to  change 
the  women's  singles  scoring 
from  1 1 points  per  game  to  the 
1 5 used  by  the  men  was  referred 
to  the  International  Badminton 
Federation  council  HBF).  It  may 
have  difficulty  in  becoming 
accepted  because  it  is  widely  felt 
to  discourage  women's  singles  ai 
the  grass  roots.  But  a proposal  to 
simplify  the  service  rules,  which 
have  created  a good  deal  of 
argument  with  different  inter- 
pretations. has  been  accepted. 

Meanwhile,  South  Africa  will 
remain  a member  of  the  1BF.  A 
move  from  the  Soviet  Union. 
Nigeria  and  Norway  to  have 
that  country  expelled  failed  to 
gain  ihe  -necessary  three-quar- 
lers  majority,  although  ihe  vot- 
ing was  18-13  in  favour

Conservative  path 
attracts  Garner 


By  Mitchell  Platts 


Maureen  Garner  wifi  not  be 
too  alarmed  if  she  fails  to 
emulate  Kitrina  Douglas  and 
Gillian  Stewart  by  winning  the 
Ford  Ladies  Classic  which  will 
start  ai  Woburn  Golf  and  Coun- 
try Gub  today.  Miss  Douglas 
and  Miss  Stewart  began  their 
careers  by  winning  this  annua] 
curtain-raiser  to  the  Women's 
PG  A season. 

Mrs  Gamer  is  beginning  what 
she  hopes  will  be  a fruitful 
career,  although  she  is  sensibly 
i taking  a conservative  view 
rather  than  insisting  that  she 
will  stan  as  fast  as  her  former 
amateur  colleagues. 

“I  have  to  be  encouraged  by 
what  Kitrina  and  Gillian  have 
achieved.”  Mrs  Gamer  said.  "I 
can  relate  to  them  as  golfers 
because  we  all  played  so  many 
limes  with  and  against  each 
other.  So  1 have  to  believe  that 


their  footsteps. 

"Gillian.  however,  lived  and 
slept  golf  for  five  years  before 
she  turned  professional.  I am 
only  now  beginning  to  dedicate 
myself  to  that  land  of  life  so  I 
might  require  more  time.” 

Mrs  Gamer,  aged  28.  has 
arrived  among  the  professional 
ranks  later  rather  than  sooner 
simply  because  geographical 
reasons  made  it  financially  diffi- 
cult for  her  to  plan  such  a career. 
She  has  moved  from  her  North- 
ern Ireland  home  to 
W'hitchurch,  in  Shropshire, 
where  John  Gamer,  the  former 
Ryder  Cup  player  wham  she 
married,  has  a golf  school  at  the 
Hill  Valley  Country  Club. 

‘‘It  will  make  commuting  to 
tournaments  a lot  easier  than  if  I 


had  still  been  living  in 
Ponsiewan.”  Mrs  Gamer  said. 
"I  actually  decided  io  turn 
professional  last  August  but  I 
did  not  make  the  change-over 
until  one  month  ago  when  I 
secured  sponsorship  from  Tipp- 
Ex.  I played  in  a pro-am  last 
week  and  I earned  £300.  which 
is  equivalent  to  whai  I used  to  be 
paid  forabout  a couple  of  weeks' 
work. 

“That  is  not  to  say  it's  going  to 
be  easy  to  earn  money  out  here. 
! know  it  won't  be.  But  I am 
looking  forward  to  ihe  challenge 
without  selling  myself  financial 
targets- 1 am  convinced  that  the 
way  to  make  a success  of  this 
career  is  to  think  solely  in  terms 
of  scoring  well  and  I wifi  be 
looking  ai  par  figures  initially 

Miss  Siewari  and  Muriel 
Thomson,  who  was  beaten  in  a 
play-off,  were  the  only  players  to 


r 'Tmi 


last  year.  The  Woburn  course  is 
in  better  condition  than  1 2 
months  ago 

That  being  said,  the  scoring 
could  be  tower  and  Laura 
Davies,  the  leading  player  in  the 
Ring  and  Brxmer  order  of  merit 
last  year  with  £21,736,  will  leave 
her  driver  in  the  bag  some  of  the 
time  to  try  to  carve  a successful 
path  along  the  tree-lined  fair- 
ways. “I  finished  down  the  field 
here  last  year  and  that  was 
because  I lacked  ihe  experience 
to  harness  my  power.”  she  said- 

The  standard  of  play  on  ihe 
WPGA  circuit  has  improved  by 
such  a degree  that  the  support 
from  sponsors  has  increased  to 
give  the  players  a total  of 
£750.000  for  which  to  play  this 
season. 


SPEEDWAY 


England  are  confident 
of  turning  the  tables 


By  Keith  Macklin 


There  will  be  no  repeal  this 
season  of  last  season's  virtual 
whitewash  inflicted  by  Den- 
mark in  international  com- 
petition and  by  Danish  riders  in 
British  speedway. 

Eric  Boocock,  co-manager  of 
the  England  team  which  starts  a 
five-match  series  against  the 
Danes  this  weekend,  says:  “The 
Danes  were  the  best  in  the  world 
last  season,  and  were  under- 
standably cocky  about  it.  but 
England  have  a strengthened 
learn.  Last  season  Kenny 
Carters  injury  in  the  last  inter- 
national turned  the  tide.  This 
time,  with  Simon  Wigg  back 
afier  his  suspension  problems, 
we  know  we  can  do  it.” 

Notwithstanding  this  appar- 
ent confidence,  il  will  be  diffi- 
cult for  England  to  defeat  the 
Danes  who  last  year  won  the 
international  series  2-1.  and 
elsewhere  swept  the  board.  Erik 
Gundersen  won  the  world 
championship  and  die  British 
League  riders'  championship. 
Gundersen  and  Tommy  Knud- 
sen  won  the  world  pairs  title, 
and  io  cap  it  ail.  Denmark  won 
the  world  team  cup.  Hans 
Nielsen  spearheaded  Oxford  to 
a series  of  triumphs  in  domestic 
competitions  and  won  the 
Golden  Helm  cl  His  total  of  626 
poinislefi  him  nearly  100  points 
ahead  of  his  nearest  rivals. 


Yet  ihere  are  sound  reasons 
for  hoping  and  believing  that 
England  can  win.  The  first 
international  takes  place  at 
Cradley  Heath  on  Saturday  and 
the  remaining  matches  wifi  be  at 
Belle  Vue,  Wolverhampton, 
Bradford  and  Oxford.  Herein 
lies  the  slightly  Machiavellian 
thinking  by  England  which 
could  swing  the  series  towards 
the  home  nders.  regardless  of 
individual  and  team  skills. 

The  Danes  are  much  more  at 
home  on  small  tracks  than  on 
big  ones.  Bradford  and  Belle 
Vue  are  not  to  their  liking  and 
only  Oxford  will  find  the  Danish 
riders  totally  at  home.  A further 
complication  for  the  Danes  is 
that  they  dislike  riding  bikes 
with  the ‘new  Czech-originaied 
tyres  which  have  been  in- 
troduced into  English  speedway 
this  season. 

England  are  looking  for  an 
outstanding  lead  from  W'igg. 
their  captain,  and  a confident 
performance  from  the  Belle  Vue 
rider,  Chris  Morton. 

There  is  new  sponsorship  for 
England.  Sunbnte.  who  spon- 
sored ihe  world  individual 
championship  last  year,  have 
put  their  money  behind  the 
international  squad  and  En- 
gland will  scorch  from  the 
starting  gate  as  the  Sunbnte 
Lions.

”-r 


alance  and 
trength  to  the 
class  of  ’82 


: -./f':  By  Clive  White 

- . Billy  Binghami  the  North- 

ern,. Jipland  manager,  an- 
-noUnoed  his  World  Cup  squad 
for  ‘Mexico  yesterday  and 
■declared  n was  stronger  all 
round  than  the  one  that 

'.excelled  itself  in  Spain  four 
years  ago.  ff  that  is  true  then 
the  world  could  be  in  for 
another  rude  awakening  from 
the  most  mischievous  repre- 
sentatives of  ail  the  world's 
“little  people”. 

•‘The  squad  is  stronger  all 
round  with  a nice-  balance 
•."^between  experience  . and 
youth.”  Bingham  said.  “Nine 
of  them  are  under  the  age  of  23 
= - . and  have  all  come  through  our 
lyouih  training  sessions  or 
ivhai  I cal)  our  squcczing-ihe- 
lemon  s>stem." 

A few.  though,  could  have 
come  through  more  rapidly 

• than  CampbelL  the  20-year- 
old  midfield  player-cum-for- 
ward  from  Nottingham 
Forest.  Seldom  could  anyone 
have  earned  a World  Cup 
ticket  with -so  little  interna- 
tional experience,  35  minutes. 

• to.be  precise,  against  Morocco 
in  BeJlast  last  week.  But  his 
recent  goaJ-scorirtg  exploits 
5 nice,  replacing. the  .departed 
Davenport  in  the  Forest  team 

: have  quickly  spread  the  word 
that  here  is  a successor  to 
Martin  O'Neill,  also  once  of 
Forest. 

O'Neill,  the  Irish  captain 
until  a knee  injury  a year  ago 
robbed  him  of  his  place,  has 
been  foreed  to  relinquish  his 
dreams  of  playing  in  the  final 
stages  of  another  World  Cup 
at  the  age  of  34.  The  fact  that 

• he  probably  would  have  made  (ChesterfteV 
■ rite  squad  had  the  knee  been*  ~u 


flucnce : of  events.  When  I 
retired,  a young  fellow  called 
Best  came  along. 

Another  whose  ambitions 
this  year  have  already  been 
partly  dashed  because  of  knee 
problems  is  Hamilton,  who 
had  to  sit  out  Oxford  United's 
moment  of  glory  at  Wembley 
last  week.  Though  selected  by 
Bingham  he  must  still  prove 
his  fitness  between  now  and 
the  deadline  of  May  23. 

The  Irish  have  been  fortu- 
nate to  discover  Quinn  and 
Clarke,  both  good  headers  like 
Hamilton,  within  the  last  12 
months,  but  they  will  miss 
Hamilton's  aggression.  Wor- 
thington and  Jimmy  Nicholl. 
others  troubled  by  injury,  are 
both  reported  to  be  on  the 
mend. 

The  least  known  of 
Bingham's  squad  is  Philip 
Hughes,  of  Bury,  who  was 
nominated  as  third  goalkeep- 
er. Bingham  said  of  21-year- 
old  Hughes:  “He's  the  young 
pretender.”  Unlike  England 
and  Scotland  there  will  be  few 
players  disappointed  at -being 
overlooked.  It  was  as  much  as 
Bingham  .could  do  la  find  22 
live  hopes.  No  doubL  though. 
Thcy  will  grve  the  world’s  efite

Real  look  forward 
to  UEFA  final 


' Madrid  (Reuter)  - Real  Ma- 
drid go  in  search  of  their  eighth 
European  trophy  tonight  when 
they  are  at  home  to  Cologne  in 
the  first  leg  of  the  UEFA  Cup- 
final.  It  will  be  Real's  thirteenth 
appearance  in  a European  final 
and  confidence  has  seldom  been 

higher  aUbc  Spanish  club. 

Although  Pori  an.  Maccda  and 
Sanehk  .wili.be  absent  through 
^--injury  and  suspension,  the  man- 
. ...  .aget  Luis  Molowny.  Will  be  able' 
1 to  field  a team  which  might 
t-  stand  comparison,  with  the  great 
- Real  Hne-ups  of  the  past.  . 

The  Argentine  forward, 
Valdano.  who  missed  the  thrill- 
ing semi-fmal  win  against  Inlcr 
Milan  because  of  suspension, 
returns  lo  the  team  and  the  West 
German  international  goal- 
keeper. Schumacher,  will  face  a 
formidable  attack.  Valdano  will 
link  up  with  Sanchez,  top  scorer 
in  the  Spanish  first  division,  and 
Butragucno.  w ho  is  in  irrepress- 
ible form. 

..  . Georg  Kessler,  the.  Cologne 


. manager,  said  that  Real  were 
favourites  on  three  counts 
“They  are  League  champions, 
they  haven't  played  for  10  days 
- and  wirhavenYrecovered  from 
the  nerves  of  • possible 
relegation.”  Molowny.  however, 
was  not  fooled  by  such  pessi- 
mism and  he  pointed,  out  that 
despite  finishing  a lowly  thir- 
teenth in  the  West  German 
Bun'dcsliga.  Cologne  had  shown 
"Their  true  potential  in  the  semi- 
finals when  they  ' - crushed 
Warcgem  7-3  on  aggregate. 

The  World  Cup  referee. 
George  Courtney.*  of  England, 
will  be  in  charge  of  tonight's

ATHLETICS 


At  33,  Moorcroft  knows  his  chances  of  being  No  1 again  are  limited. 

Moorcroft  sees  humorous 
side  to  his  gold  quest 


runners,  w ho  form  the  backbone 
of  the  sport  aad  who  can  be 
relied  upon  to  bring  a healthy 
cynicism  to  any  aspect  of  it  that 
is  less  than  genuine. 

Moorcroft  ‘‘failed'*  to  take 
three  minutes  off  the  course 
record,  which  he  holds  with 
24min  27 sec.  But  he  pronounced 
himself  well  pleased  with  his 
25min  16sec  which  took  his 
Coventry  club  np  from  23rd  to 
eighth  on  the  fifth  lap. 


Two  years  of  injuries,  and  a 
last  place  in  the  Olympic  5.000 
metres  final  for  the  then  world 
record  holder,  have  not  dimin- 
ished Dave  Moorcroft's  sense  of 
bum  oar. 

Trying  to  contact  him  last 
Friday  about  his  “comeback 
race”  in  the  national  road  relay 
the  following  day.  be  left  a 
message  on  my--  telephone 
answering  machine:  “If  it's 
about  the  race.  I'm  hoping  to  ran 
well,  I expect  to  break  the  coarse 
record  by  about  three  minutes,  _ 
then  go  on  to  set  three  or  fonr  | ,aST  flttCUlpt 
world  records  this  season  and  r 

win  a couple  of  gold  medals.  1 1 ■ ■ 

Sorry  to  be  so  non-commhtaL-** 

The  irony,  for  those  who  have 
not  heard  Moorcroft's  careful 
assessments  of  hb  peers  while 
“filling  in'*  for  radio  or  television 
-during  fus  enforced  lay-off.  was 
not  the  sehd-up  of  hyperbolical 
journalistic  .expectations,  but 
that  be  is  one  of  the  most  modest 
men  in  athletics. . . 

Stove  Harris,  Britain's  cur- 
rent “kfog  of.  the  roads”,  who 
had-  to  withdraw  from 
Saturday's  relay  with  a slight 
injury,  welcomed  Moorcroft's 
return  with:  “It's  good  to  see  him 
back.  He's  such  an  unassuming 
bloke.  He's  one  of  the  greatest 
ambassadors  athletics  could 
have.” 

And  that  appreciation  was 
underlined  by  the  spontaneous 
burst  of  applause  which  greeted 
Moorcroft -as  be  went  to  the 
starting  line  on  Saturday.  For  it 
came  from  the  assembled  dub 


The  pelvic  injury  which 
caused  most  of  his  problems  in 
the  last  two  years,  indnding  the 
Olympic  final,  was  operated  on 
last  summer,  and  has  completely 
healed.  But  Moorcroft  admits 
that  at  33  years  of  age  this  is 
probably  his  last  attempt  “to  get 
back  into  competition  with  the 
very  best-  I'm  prepared  to  give  a 
year  of  hard  work,  and  if  1 don't 
make  it,  then  m just  drift 
merrily  along  running  in  dub 
races." 

The  “three  or  four  world 
records”  may.he.as  much  outside 
his  compass  now  as  that  course 
record  , in  Birmingham's  Sutton 
Park,  especially  so  since  Said 
Aouita,  the  Moroccan  who 
shaved  a hundredth  of  a second 
off  b is  5,000  metres  world  record 
last  year,  is  likely  to  make  more 
substantial  inroads  this  season. 
But  the  “couple  of  gold  medals”, 
a reference  to  this  summer's 


Commonwealth  Games  and 
European  Championships,  are 
more  reasonable  objectives. 

“Having  won  two  Common- 
wealth golds  and  two  European 
bronzes  (1,500  metres  in  1978. 
5,000  metres  in  1982),  ( fed  I've 
got  more  to  prove  in  the  Europe- 
ans. I've  got  to  be  realistic. 
Saturday's  time  doesn't  even 
equate  to  qualifying,  which  I'd 
be  more  than  happy  to  do  for 
either  champions  hip,  because 
that's  what's  still  the  -most 
important" 

The  selections  for  the 
Commonwealth  Games  in  late 
July,  a month  before  the  Euro- 
pean Championships,  will  be 
made  following  the,  AAA 
Championships  on  Joe  20  to 
21,  where  Moorcroft  hopes  to 
run  the  5,000  metres.  In  the 
meantime,  it  is  terfc  to  the 
training  track,  .“for  the  next 
month,  with  perhapsa  fifde  mile 
race  somewhere  abroad  before 
the  AAA".'  : 

- He  still  nurtures  a sense  that 
he  Id  everyone  dowwby  going  tn 
the  Olympics  less  than  100  per, 
cent  fit-  “The  selectors  held 
faith,  and  we  didn't  mislead 
anybody.  It  was  worth  a gamble. 
Bat  I'm  not  going  to  compromise 
again.  If  I'm  not  fit,  I won't  ran. 
Personal  * achievement  conies 
first.  I want  to  get  under  13min 
30sec  for  5,000  metres,  aad  then 
try  to  get  under  13:20  again. 
That  would  restore  some  per- 
sonal pride."

Scottish  call  depletes  Kelso 


By  David  Hands,  Rugby  Correspondent 


Kelso  will  be  severely  depleted 
when  they  appear  in  the  finals  of 
the  Middlesex  Sevens  on  Sat- 
urday. They  have  five  players 
with  Scotland's  touring  team 
who  play  Spain  in  Barcelona

four  games  against  French  re- 
gional teams  over  the  next 

fortnight. 

Cramb.  the  Harlequins  stand- 
otThalf.  plays  against  Spain  in  a 
party  somewhat  affected  by 
withdrawals,  the  latest  of  them 
last  weekend  when  Eric  Paxton 
replaced  Finlay  Caldcr.  How- 
ever. both  back  row  players 
hope  to  be  fit  in  lime  lo  join  the 
Scottish  team  which  will  take 
part  in  the  Sportaid  Inter- 
national Sevens  in  Cardiff  on 
May  16  to  1 7. 

Four  countries  -have-  an- 
nounced teams  for  that  event 


New  Zealand  include  four  mem- 
bers of  the  team  that  won  the 
New  South  Wales  Sevens  and 
will  graft  on  the  exciting  skills  of 
Kirwan.  the  Auckland  wing; 
Australia  include  Campese  and 
Glen  Ella  while  England,  cap- 
tained by  Cusworth.  have  two  of 
the  biggest  wings  in  the<Buniry. 
Trick  (Bath)  and  Evans  (Leices- 
ter). in  (heir  squad.  The  other 
four  competing  teams  come 
from  Wales.  Ireland.  France  and 
a Rest  of  the  World  side. 

Brian  Ashton,  England's 
assistant  coach,  will  not  be  able 
to  accompany  the  England  B 
team  to  Italy  next  week.  He  is 
unable  to  get  lime  away  from  his 
school  duties  at  Stonyhurst

BOXING 


Andries  will  go  all  out  in 
his  quest  for  the  world 


The  classic  boxing  confronta- 
tion should  unfold  when  the 
fighter-boxer,  Dennis  Andries, 
of  Britain,  meets  the  boxer- 
fighter.  J.B.  Wiliamson.  of  the 
United  States,  the  World  Boxing 
Council  light-heavyweight 
champion,  at  Pickens  Lock,' 
Edmonton.  North  London  to- 
night: the  5ft  Min  Andries 
trying  to  land  bombs  as  the  6ft 
2in  former  Marine  tries  to  pick 
him  off  with  sharp  bums  of  jabs 
and  hooks,  especially  to  the 
body. 

Neither  side  will  have  fo  go 
looking  for  the  other,  though  the 
American's  more  sophisticated 
defence  system  and  footwork 
could  pose  a few  problems  for 
the  shorter  man.  Unless 

Williamson  uncharacteristically 
unleashes  a heavy  blow  on 
Andries's  chin  early,  the  cham- 
pion will  have  the  hardest  fight 
of  his  career  on  bis  hands. 

Andries,  though  not  over- 
burdened with  elegant  skills,  is 
one  of  the  toughest,  roughest 
and  most  determined  fighters  in 
Britain.  He  craves  recognition 
and  will  go  all  out  to  get  il  He 
has  a good  knock-out  record:  16 
in  26  victories.  Williamson  has 
won  inside  the  distance  only 
eight  limes  in  22  wins. 

While  technique  can  usually 
master  brute  force.  Andries's 
task  is  not  impossible.  William-

not  yet  shown  that  he  is  a

SQUASH  RACKETS 

S Africans 
snubbed 
by Devoy 

By  Paul  Martin 

Susan  Devoy,  the  New  Zea- 
lander who  last  week  won  her 
third  successive  British  Open 
title,  has  turned  down  offers  to 
play  in  South  Africa.  As  world 
champion,  she  feels  she  would 
run  into  the  sort  of  political  row 
which  now  surrounds  those  of 
her  countrymen  who  are  in- 
volved in  the  latest  'rebel*  rugby 
tour. 

Owen  Eraslie,  the  South  Af- 
rican squash  promoter,  had 
been  wooing  Miss  Devoy 
assiduously  during  the  Open, 
but  according  to  her  coach, 
Bryce  Taylor,  she  had  re- 
sponded with  a “flat  no”,  de- 
spite an  attractive  though  "not 
astronomical"  financial 
inducement.  ' 

Devoy.  appointed  an  honor- 
ary New  Zealand  sports  ambas- 
sador and  awarded  an  MBE, 
feels  she  would  lose  esteem,  and 
sponsorship,  in  New  Zealand, 
and  might  even  -provoke 
demonstrations  at  next  year’s 
world  championships  in  Auck- 
land if  she  was  to  accept  the 
offer. 

The  South  Africans  did  not, 
however,  leave  Britain  totally 
empty  handed.  When  Emslie 
flew  home  Jast  .week  he  bad 
secured  South  Africa's  position 
in  world  squash  through  a 
carefully  prepared  campaign. 
Using  14  proxy  votes  from 
absent  South  African  players,  be 
ensured  that  the  Men's  Squash 
Players’  Association  (MSPA) 
reinstated  South  African  tour- 
naments in  the  grand  prix  ladder 
■ A substantial  majority  had 
voted  late  last  year,  during  the 
world  championships  in  Egypt 
(where  South  Africans  were 
denied  entry),  for  tiie  tour- 
nament to  lose  their  points 
ratings. 

So  important  did  the  South 
Africans  consider  the  move  that 
Eddie  Barlow,  the  former 
Derbyshire  and  South  African 
cricketer  who  now  runs  South 
Africa's  Sports  Office  in  Lon- 
don, interrupted  a working  visit 
to  South  Africa,  and  flew  back  to 
England  to  assist  Emslie. 

The  president  of  the  MSPA,' 
Stuart  Davenport  of  New  Zea- 
land, the  world  No  3,  said 
Emslie' s proxy  votes  bad  “prob- 
ably swung  it”. 

■Hie  South  Africans  have 
made  it  clear  they  are  deter- 
mined to  fight  sporting  isolation 
on  all  fronts,  and  their  attempt 
to  persuade  Miss  Devoy  to  visit 
their  country  may  not  have 
foiled  completely.  As  she 
reaches  the  twilight  of  her  career 
(she  is  considering  retiring 
young),  the  offers  will  become 
increasingly  tempting,  accord- 
ing to  her  coach.  “Money  talks 
eventually,”  he  said. 


good  and  in  his  amateur  career 
he  appears  to  have  feilen  just 
short  of  the  standard  expected  of 
champions. 

Williamson  won  the  Amateur 
Athletic  Union  (AAU)  title  in 
1976  at  middleweight  but  foiled 
to  get  a place  in  the  brilliant 
American  Olympic  team  at 
Montreal  He  won  the  title  again 
in  1978  but  still  did  not  make 
the  team  foe  the  1 980  Olympics. 
He  was  beaten  in  the  quarter- 
finals of  tbe  1979  Golden 
Gloves  by  Tony  Ayala  and  then 
failed  in  the  AAU  champion- 
ships. being  beaten  by  Alex 
Ramos. 

Williamson  then  entered  the 
Pan  American  Games  but  came 
up  against  the  tough  Cuban, 
Jos&  Gomez,  in  the  first  series 
and  was  well  outpointed.  He 
joined  the  professional  ranks 
but  there,  too,  was  unable  to 
challenge  for  the  title  until 
Michael  Spinks,  the  undisputed 
world  champion,  bad  moved 
up.  He  beat  Prince  Mama 
Mohammed,  of  Ghana,  more  a 
stylist  than  a fighter,  to  win  the 
vacant  World  Boxing  Council 
title. 

Williamson  makes  much  of 
his  victory  over  Pete  McIntyre, 
a British  fighter.  But  from  all 
accounts  McIntyre  was  ahead 
but  fell  behind  in  the  last  three 
rounds  on  account  of  losing 


sparring  session  with  Milton 
McCroiy.  the  former  world 
welterweight  champion. 

All  ihis.  of  course,  greatlv 
encourages  Andries  to  get 
in.  His  manager.  Greg  Stecnc, 
says  that  Andries  has  learned 
from  his  draw  with  the  6n  5in 
Alex  Blanchard,  of  The  Nether- 
lands. the  European  champion, 
that  it  is  best  not  to  leave  things 
to  the  judges. 

"He  won't  be  fiddling  about 
this  time”.  Sieene  said  yes- 
terday. "He  will  get  to  him  early 
and  I think  he  will  stop  him 
halfway  through”.  Sieene 
added:  "They  are  all  tipping 
Williamson  now  because  be  is 
the  champion”.  But  be  revealed 
that  last  year,  before  Williamson 
was  champion,  he  had  planned 
to  bring  him  over  as  an  oppo- 
nent for  Andries.  “Who  would 
have  tipped  Williamson  then. 

Sieene  claimed  that  Andries 
had  prepared  belter  for  tins 
contest  than  any  other  and  had 
sparred  with  light-heavyweights 
and  middle-weights  for  speed. 
Andries  also  had  the  advice  of 
John  Cornell,  the  former  world 
light-heavyweight  champion, 
and  was  looking  forward  to 
bringing  the  title  back  to  Britain 
after  nine  years.  Contch.  who 
had  been  granted  his  seconds 
licence  on  Sunday,  will  be  in 
Andries's  corner  to  bolster  him

"Life  and  Reminiscences  of 
Robert  Abel  in  the  Cricket  Field" 
told  by  himseIC  and  edited  by 
H.V.  Dorey.  Paper  covers  6d. 
Cloth  boards  l/6dL  Cricket  and 
sports  Publishers.  London, 
1910. 

This  book,  apart  from  its 
intrinsic  merits,  which  are  not 
negligible,  is  interesting  because 
it  is  an  early  example  of  open 
and  therefore  forgivable) 
"ghosting”  by  a professional 
journalist:  and  also  of  sponsor- 
ship. The  sponsors  were  the 
makers  of  NU  VTHE  of  Norwich. 
The  cover  of  the  book  is 
emblazoned  with  slogans: 
“DON'T  ENVY  THE  POS- 
SESSOR OF  PHYSICAL 
HEALTH  - TAKE  NUVITE 
AND  ENJOY  ITT;  “NUVITE 
THE  GIVER  OF  NEW  LIFE 
OVERCOMES  ALL 

WEAKNESSES'';  “WHY 
NEWCASTLE  WON  THE  EN- 
GLISH CUP  - see  page  72”. 


Pleasing  touches 


So  you  turn  to  page  72.  where 
you  learn,  purportedly  from. 
Abel  himself  in  the  text,  that 
Newcastle  United,  victors  over 
Barnsley,  “had  trained  exclu- 
sively on  Nuvite  for  the  English 
Cup  ties". 

Since  Nuvite  was  “THE 
IDEAL  NEW  WINE  FOOD” 
the  word  “exclusively"  may  be 
pitching  it  a bit  high  (were  there 
no  steaks  and  beet?)  but  the  gist 
of  the  message  is  confirmed  by  a 
facsimile  ofa  telegram  from  ibe 
Newcastle  manager,  “Thanks  to 
Nuvite  we  have  won  the  cup" 
(It  took  a little  time  to  work: 
only  in  a replay  did  Barnsley,  a 
second  division  side.  lose.  24)). 

Nuvite.  with  its  proclaimed 
conquest  over  nerves,  came  too 
late  for  Bobby  Abel's  own 
cricketing  career,  which  was  a 
pity,  because  he  was  thought  to 
have  a weakness  against  the 
fastest  bowlers.  John  Shuter.  his 
Surrey  captain,  says  as  much  in 
his  introduction  lo  the  book. 

Abel  played  in  13  Tests,  II 
against  Australia,  between  1888 
and  1 902.  He  scored  744  runs  at 
an  average  of  37,  very  high  for 
the'  time.  He  toured  Australia 
twice,  the  first  a muddle  when 
two  sides  were  visiting  it  at  the 
same  time,  the  second  under 
Grace  in  1891-2. 

At  Sydney  in  1892  he  carried 
his  bat  through  the  innings, 
something  no  other  English 
batsman  was  to  do  until  Hutton, 
in  I9SI.  In  all  first-class  cricket, 
from  1881  to  1904.  he  scored 
more  than  33.000  runs,  average 
35.  with  74  centuries  (another 


happily  described.  And  W.G. 
Grace,  with  whom  he  opened  a 
Test  innings  on  several  occa- 
sions. used  to  refer  to  him  as 
“Father".  This  was  because  one 
of  Abel's  boys  came  to  the  Oval 
one  day.  and  asked  “Is  father 
here?"  W.G.  never  tired  of  a 
simple  joke,  especially  if  it  were 
his  own,  and  Abel  was  “Father", 
with  an  accompaniment  of  high- 
pitched  laughter,  thenceforth. 

By  the  Surrey  public  he  was 
nicknamed  “The  Guv'nor”. 
which  arose  less'  from  any 
natural  gubernatorial  authority 
than  in  the  cocky,  indeed  Cock- 
ney perkiness  with  which  he 
went  about  his  business.  He  was 
a special  hero  at  the  Oval,  their 
very  own  in  a way  which  his  . 
successors,  the  great  Hayward  P 
and  the  greater  Hobbs  — both 
Cambridgeshire  men  — never 
quite  were.  After  his  retirement 
be  ran  a bat  sbop  at  the  Oval, 
and  was  coach  at  Dulwich 
College.  H.S.  AJtham  gave  us 
this  affectionate  picture  of  him: 

“Who  that  has  ever  seen  it  can 
forget  that  curious  little  figure, 
surmounted  almost  invariably 
by  a somewhat  faded  and 
shrunken  chocolate  cap,  the 
slow,  half-waddling  gait  that 
marked  its  progress  to  the 
wicket  the  upright  yet  appar- 
ently rather  limb-tied  stance, 
and  then  the  wonderful  mastery 
over  even  type  of  bowling, 
except  perhaps  the  very  fast  and 
very  slow,  and  the  inexhaustible 
patience  that  made  the  century 
only  a mark  to  reach  and  leave 
behind?"  . , 

Against  that  we  may  set  Abel's  J* 
own  account  a glimpse  of  an 
elsewhere-  unchronicled  mo- 
ment in  cricketing  history:  “One 
afternoon  last  July,  when  Mr 
Crawford's  refusal  to  lead  the 
Surrey  XI  into  the  field  against 
the  Australians  was  the  sole 
topic  of  conversation  on  and 
about  the  Oval,  a friend  walked 
into  my  shop  to  say  ‘How  d'ye 
do?*  My  eyes  were  troubling  me, 
and  were  seriously  affecting  my 
work  as  coach  at  Dulwich 
College. 

Medical  discovery 

“This  I naturally  told  him. 
With  my  friend  was  Mr.  F.E. 
Palmer,  a chemist  and  physiolo- 
gist of  Norwich. 

This  gentleman  at  once  ^ 
convincingly  said.  'I  will  put 
your  eyes  right’  handing  me  a 
boule  of  his  recent  medical 
discovery,  Nuvite,  and  request- 
ing me  to  try  iL 


“Nalurally  sceptical.  L how- 
, . . iver*  decided  to  give  it  a trial, 

large  number  for  the  time)  He*  Feeling  that  1 had  really  derived 

immense  benefit  from  it  I 


also  took  263  wickets  with  little 
off-breaks,  and  caught  58S 
catches,  mostly  at  slip.  He  was 
not  one  of  your  tail  slips  — only 
5ft  4in  — but  like  Hendren,  kept 
bobbing  up  unexpectedly  and 
missed  very  little  within  reach. 
In  six  consecutive  seasons  he 
scored  more  than  2,000  runs,  in 
1901  more  than  3,000.  His  3S7 
against  Somerset  in  1899  was 
then  the  second-highest  score  in 
first-class  cricket  Boyhood  days 
on  Southwark  Common  are 


continued  the  treatment  and 
today  I feel  that  1 have,  to  a great 
extent  benefilted  in  my  general 
health  and  regained  that  steadi- 
ness of  nerve  absolutely  nec- 
essary in  the  cricket  field." 

. WelL  there  you  are:  the  truth 
behind  the  scorecards.  But  what 
has  happened  to  Nuvite?  Docs  it 
St.ll  produce  its  elixir  in  Nor- 
Wich?  IT  so.  a supply  Should 

should  have  been  despatched  10 
the  West  Indies.

pressure 
intensifies 


\ 


est  Ham  United  can 
,ke  certain  of  at  least  third 
ice  in  the  first  division  by 
aiing  Ipswich  Town  at  Up- 
n Park  tonight,  thus  com- 
pleting four  successive  home 
wins  in  10  days  and  keeping 
the  pressure  on  the  two  teams 
in  front  of  them,  Liverpool 
and  Everton.  Their  manager, 
John  LyaJl.  sai±‘Tt‘s  great 
that  we  are  taking  it  all  the  way 
to  the  finish." 

West  Ham  have  only  one 
worry  afier  Monday's  hard 
earned  win  over  Manchester 
City  — Ward,  an  ever  present 
this  season,  finished  the  game 
with  a slight  groin  strain.  Lyalf 
admits  his  players  are  tired 
after  a long  hard  season  "but 
so  are  all  the  other  teams,  and 
when  you  are  winning  you 
don't  notice  being  tired." he 
said. 

“We  have  already  achieved 
the  target  we  set  ourselves  this 
season  of  finishing  higher  than 
any  West  Ham  side  has  ever 
done  before  in  division  one. 
which  is  a great  credit  to  the 
lads.  Now  we  simply  have  to 
seek  to  win  our  remaining 
games  and  hope  that  Liver- 
pool and  Everton  slip  up. 
Manchester  City  made  it  hard 
for  us.  They  were  the  third 
side  of  the  last  four  we  have 
beaten  to  use  a sweeper,  which 
is  a mark  of  respect  to  us." 
Stewart's  first-half  penalty 
separated  the  teams. 

West  Ham  have  beaten 
Ipswich  away  in  both  League 
and  FA  Cup  this  season,  each 
time  with  an  only  goal  scored 
Cottee.  Almost  exactly  a 
year  ago  another  Conee  goal 
gave  West  Ham  a 1-0  win  at 


Ipswich,  which  ended  their 
relegation  fears. 

Ipswich,  still  needing  three 
points  from  their  last  two 
matches  to  make  certain  of 
avoiding  relegation,  will  have 
no  inferiority  complex  about 
lonighi's  match.  Their  manag- 
er. Bobby  Ferguson,  said;  "We 
are  going  there  to  win.  It 
would  be  nice  to  gel  three 
points  because  it  would  pre- 
vent having  a nail-biting  fin- 
ish at  Sheffield  Wednesday  on 
Saturday."  Ipswich  have  no 
fresh  injury  worries  following 
their  injury-time  victory  over 
Oxford  United  on  Saturday.

Page30 

ceived  a lift  yesterday  when 
Reid  and  Van  den  Hauwe 
were  included  in  the  party  of 
14  for  the  match  at  Oxford 
tonight.  They  have  made  good 
progress  after  being  injured 
during  Saturday's  goalless 
draw  with  Nottingham  Forest 
Harper  and  Richardson  are 
added  to  the  squad. 

Oxford's  Northern  Ireland 
forward.  Billy  Hamilton,  is 
recalled  to  face  Everton.  Ham- 
ilton. who  is  included  in 
Ireland's  World  Cup  squad 
after  being  troubled  ail  season 
with  a knee  injury,  takes  over 
from  Charles,  who  suffered  a 
recurrence  of  a groin  strain 
against  Ipswich. 

The  3-2  defeat  left  Oxford  in 
deep  relegation  trouble  and 
their  manager.  Maurice  Ev- 


ans. has  set  of  a target  of  seven 
points  from  the  remaining 
three  home  games  to  stay  in 
the  first  division.  He  said: 
"We  were  killed  off  by  two 
diabolical  decisions  by  referee 
Tony  Holbrook,  which  cost 
two  goals  after  playing  weft 
enough  to  deserve  a win  and  it 
will  make  the  players  more 
determined  tomorrow.  They 
know  they  cannot  afford  an- 
other defeat" 

The  League  leaden,  Liver- 
pool. have  an  injury  woiry  for 
tonight's  visit  to  Leicester 
City.  Johnston  is  suffering 
from  a painful  back  which 
makes  him  a doubtful  starter 
and  he  will  have  a late  fitness 
tesL  Rush  has  also  had  treat- 
ment fora  back  injury  but  is 
likely  to  play. 

The  Liverpool  player-man- 
ager, Kenny  Dalglish,  takes  a 
squad  of  15  with  Walsh.  Lee 
and  McMahon  added  to  the 
dozen  who  were  on  duty  in 
Saturday's  5-0  defeat  of  Bir- 
mingham City. 

Leicester's  manager,  Gor- 
don Milne,  says  that  tonight's 
match  is  as  important  as  a cup 
final.  The  former  England 
winger.  Laurie  Cunningham, 
is  likely  to  play,  as  Leicester 
attempt  to  avoid  relegation. 
Cunningham  will  probably 
lake  over  from  Lynex,  who  is 
suspended. 

Smith  is  still  doubtfuL  He 
has  been  under  intensive 
treatment  for  10  days  for  a 
knee  injury  and  Milne  said 
yesterday:  "I  am  keeping  my 
fingers  crossed,  but  will  not  be 
able  to  say  whether  Smith  will 
be  in  until  the  very  last 
minute." 


Luton  card  plan  to  Argentina 
ban  visiting  fans 


Luton  Town  yesterday  un- 
veiled their  plans  to  ban 
spectators  of  visiting  clubs 
from  Kenilworth  Road  next 
season. 

All  supporters  who  want  to 
watch  Luton's  games  will  first 
have  to  buy  a membership 
card  costing  £1.  The  cards, 
incorporatiig  a magnetic  code, 
will  have  to  be  passed  through 
a security  scanner  in  a 
compntercontrolled  turnstile 
system. 

The  equipment  is  costing 
Loton  £250,000  and  David 
Evans,  the  dab's  chairman, 
said  at  a press  conference  that 
the  scheme  has  the  backing  of 
the  Prime  Minister,  the  gov- 
ernment. police,  local  councils 
and  residents.  Luton  first  con- 
sidered banning  away  support- 
ers after  MUwall  Cans  caused 
£25,000  worth  of  damage  in 
and  around  the  ground  during 
a FA  Cup-tie  last  season. 

They  already  ban  visiting 
supporters  from  all  seated 
areas  and  chief  executive  John 
Smith  said  that  the  dob  would 
ask  the  Football  Association 
and  the  Football  League  to 
allow  the  ban  to  operate  in 
cup-ties  as  well  as  League 
games.  An  existing  FA  rule 


states  that  visiting  clubs 
should  be  given  25  per  cent  of 
the  capacity  for  cup-ties,  hot  a 
request  wQJ  be  made  at  an  FA 
meeting  on  May  13  to  giant 
Luton  exemption  from  that 
regulation. 

Smith  said  that  if  the  rale 
was  not  waived  for  Loton,  they 
would  deckle  whether  to  play 
FA  and  League  Cup  ties  on 
opponents'  or  neutral  grounds, 
or  withdraw  from  the  cup 
competitions.  Under  the  com- 
puterized turnstile  system,  the 
turnstile  will  reject  any  card 
which  is  stolen  or  reported  as 
being  blacklisted  by  the  dub. 

Luton  hope  to  sell  up  to 

30.000  cards  to  home  support- 
ers and  believe  that  more  local 
people  wQl  go  to  their  first 
division  matches  once  they 
know  there  cannot  be  trouble 
involving  rival  supporters. 
Those  who  boy  the  cards  win 
also  be  asked  to  sign  a promise 
of  good  behaviour. 

Loton  have  an  average  of 

1.000  visiting  fans  per  month, 
despite  a deliberate  policy  of 
charging  high  admission 
charges  for  them.  The  dob 
says  that  by  banning  away 
supporters,  its  police  bills  can 
be  reduced. 


going 
for  a rout 

Oslo  (Reuter)  — Argentina 
take  on  Norway  today  anxious 
to  find  their  goal  touch  and 
quash  suggestions  that  their 
manager,  Carlos  Bilardo,  has 
assembled  a defensive  squad 
for  next  month’s  World  Cup. 

He  has  been  criticised  for 
switching  the  emphasis  from 
the  sweeping,  attacking  moves 
employed  by  his  predecessor, 
Cesar  Luis  Menotti,  which 
took  Argentina  to  victory  in 
the  1978  finals. 

Bilardo  wants  his  team  to 
rout  Norway  in  today's  match 
at  the  Ulleval  Stadium  to 
make  amends  for  the  recent  2- 
0 defeat  by  France  and  prove 
his  side  is  no  more  defensive 
than  in  previous  yean.  The 
Argentinians,  with  their  cap- 
lain  Diego  Maradona  due  in 
from  Italy,  rehearsed  the  full 
range  of  their  attacking  moves 
during  a hard  training  session. 
They  should  have  no  problem 
disposing  of  the  Norwegians, 
although  the  mixture  of  local 
amateurs  and  exiled  profes- 
sionals caused  a major  upset 
last  year  by  beating  World 
Cup  holders  Italy. 

Argentina  travel  to  Israel  for 
another  warm-up  match 


SNOOKER 


Davis  break  clears  the  way 


There  are  few  belter  ways  to 
start  a quarter-final  of  the 
Embassy  Snooker  Champion- 
ship at  Sheffield  than  by- 
making  a splendid  clearance 
break  of  134.  This  work  of  art 
was  accomplished  yesterday 
by  Steve  Davis  against  Jimmy 
White  to  surpass  the  previous 
highest  break  of  121  compiled 
by  White  himself. 

'On  his  third  visit  to  the 
table,  having  already  scored 
four  points,  Davis  cut  a short 
red  into  a side  pocket  at  the 
lop  of  ihe  table.  There  was 
little  indication  then  of  what 
was  in  store  - a total  of  14  reds, 
eleven  blacks,  one  pink,  two 
blues  and  all  the  colours,- 
despatched  readily  with  su- 
perb control. 

While,  who  conceded  the 
second  frame  on  the  brown, 
decided  it  was  time  to  do 
something  and  he  responded 
with  a sparkling  break  of  84. 
only  to  run  into  trouble  in  the 
next  frame  after  making  a 
break  of  41.  Having  escaped 
from  a snooker  on  the  yellow 
he  found  there  was  an  in-offat 
the  end  of  it  and  Davis  won 


By  Sydney  Frisian 

the  frame  to  go  3-1  ahead.  He 
returned  from  the  interval  to 
increase  his  lead  to  4-1  but 
White  was  back  in  the  match 
al  5-3  and  there  should  be  a 
few  more  thrills  before  it  is 
completed  tonight. 

Tony  Knowles,  maintaining 
ihe  fluency  he  had  acquired 
against  Silvino  Francisco  on 
Monday  night,  gained  early 
ascendancy  over  Kirk  Ste- 
vens. of  Canada.  Successive 
breaks  of  48.  46  and  55  look 
Knowles  into  a 3-0  led,  but  an 
attractive  break  of  74  by 
Stevens  enabled  him  to  cut  the 
lead  to  3-1.  Knowles  increased 
his  lead  to  4-1  though  Stevens 
came  back  sharply  with  a 
break  of  54  to  reduce  the  lead 
to  4-1 

Cliff  Thorbum.  of  Canada, 
became  stronger  and  stronger 
once  he  found  his  rhythm 
against  Willie  Thome  and 
built  himself  a fortress  in  the 
form  of  a 6-2  lead.  The 
Canadian  won  the  first  three 
frames  without  trouble,  estab- 
lished a lead  of  4-1  with  a 
clearance  of  36,  and  extended 
it  to  6-1  with  a break  of  70. 


Thome's  best  effort  was  a 
clearance  of  83  in  the  fourth 
frame  and  he  gained  some 
respectability  by  reducing  the 
lead  to  6-2  with  a break  of  46. 

Terry  Griffiths,  usually  a 
slow  starter,  lost  the  first  three 
frames  to  Joe  Johnson,  of 
Bradford,  but  kept  in  touch  at 
the  end  of  the  morning's  play 
by  reducing  Johnson’s  lead  to 
5-3.

the  grey  crossed  the  line  with 
two  lengths  to  span?  over  Sara-

The  favourite,  Princess  Singh, 
chased  the  leaders  until  weaken-

"Mons  Future  was  bought  as

Middlesex  fail  to  force 
home  the  advantage 


LORD'S:  Middlesex  ( 7ptsj 
drew  with  Derbyshire  (3). 

Middlesex,  whose  close 
catching  let  them  down,  were 
unable  to  make  Derbyshire 
follow  on  yesterday  and  from 
12.30  onwards  the  match  was 
allowed  to  drift  to  an  unsatis- 
factory draw.  A slow,  docile 
pitch,  and  the  loss  of  four 
hours'  play  on  Saturday,  com- 
bined to  blunt  the  ambitions 
of  both  teams. 

Derbyshire  resumed  need- 
ing a further  98  runs  to  avoid 
the  follow-on.  They  had  seven 
wickets  in  hand,  including 
that  of  Miller,  who  had  influ- 
enza and  would  only  bat  if 
necessary.  In  the  first  half 
hour  Finney,  the  night  watch- 
man, was  twice  dropped  in  the 
slips  off  Williams  before  he 
reached  double  figures. 

These  mistakes  dashed  any 
hope  Middlesex  held  of  break- 
ing through.  The  score  was  92 
before  Cowans  bowled 
Finney,  but  Morris  continued 
to  drive  stylishly  and  hit  seven 


By  Richard  Streeton 

fours  before  Daniel  bowled 
him  with  a yorker. 

Roberts,  however,  was  firm 
as  a rock  and  Newman,  whose 
batting  improved  so  much  last 
year,  also  looked  sound  when 
Edmonds  and  Emburey 
bowled.  These  two  were  still 
together  at  lunch  when  67 
overs  remained  and  the  in- 
nings lasted  another  55  min- 
utes after  the  interval. 

The  outstanding  catches 
were  taken  by  Emburey  at  slip 
and  Edmonds  in  the  gulley.  to 
dismiss  Newman  and  Rob- 
erts. Holding  brought  Derby- 
shire a second  batting  point 
but  inevitably,  it  was  all 
ratheracademic.  In  retrospect, 
Middlesex,  perhaps,  batted 
too  long  'on  Monday  for 
Derbyshire  to  feel  it  necessary 
to  make  any  gestures. 

There  was  the  aesthetic 
pleasure  of  watching  Holding 
bowl  in  the  final  two  hours 
and  he  soon  had  Slack  leg 
before  with  a ball  that  kept 
low.  Barlow  and  Butcher 
played  some  attractive  strokes 


towards  the  end,  before  Butch- 
er was  bowled  round  his  Tegs, 
trying  to  sweep  in  Barnett's 
final  over.

Stakes  are  Cambridge  survive 

higher 


The  prize  money  for  this 
season's  major  cricket  compe- 
litions  rose  to  almost 
£328,000  yesterday  when 
£4.000  was  added  to  the 
NatWest  Trophy  cash  awards. 

The  winners  of  the  final  at 
Lord's  in  September  will  re- 
ceive £19,000,  compared  with 
the  £1 7.000  Essex  collected,  for 
pipping  Nottinghamshire 
There  is  £82.400  on  offer  in 
.the  Benson  and  Hedges  Cup 
and  £73,300  in  the  John 
Player  Special  League  while 
£63,000  is  the  Britannic  As- 
surance injection  into  the 
county  championship. 

England's  cricketers  can 
seek  some  solace  after  their 
troubled  tour  of  the  West 
Indies  by  pursuing  the  £40,300 
from  the  Test  sponsors, 
Comhili,  and  the  £17,400  put 
up  by  Texaco  for  the  four  one- 
day  internationals. 


FENNERS:  Cambridge  Uni- 
versity drew  with 
Northamptonshire. 

A century  from  the  North- 
amptonshire all-rounder, 
Duncan  Wild,  and  a stubborn, 
match-saving  second  innings 
from  Cambridge  University 
were  theJeatures  of  the  last 
day’s  play  at  Fenner's^ 
yesterday. 

Wild  batted  1 32  minutes  for 
his  101,  receiving  124  balls 
and  hilling  14  fours  and  a six. 
He  held  the  county's  second 
innings  together  almost  until 
they  declared  at  203  for  seven 
at  lunch.  303  runs  ahead,  after 
starting  the  day  on  81  for  two. 

Cambridge  faced  a possible 
four  hours,  in  which  to  score 
at  73  an  hour  or  to  save  the 
match,  and  they  got  off  to 
their  best  start  of  the  season, 
47  runs  coming  from  the 
openers  Bail  and  Ahluwalia. 

Browne.  Fell  and  the  cap- 
tain, Price,  saw  the  University

Van  Brabant  a fellow  Belgian, 
to  record  his  second  stage  win 
in  the  Tour  of  Spain  event

land. came  third  after  a tough 
uphill  sprint  ending  the  180-

Cangas  de  Onis  to  here.  All 
three  recorded  4 hr  36  min  33 
sec. 

Plane kaert's  victory  came 
only  after  Roland  Leclercq.  of 
France,  took  a spectacular 
spill  on  a tight  curve  200 
metres  from  the  finish  when 
he  held  a comfortable  400- 
metre  lead  over  the  pack. 
Robert  Millar,  of  Scotland, 
retained  the  overall  lead. 

“It  was  a fairly  easy  win.” 
Planckaert  said.  “I  pulled 
ahead  without  too  much  trou- 
ble near  the  finish  and  was 
sure  I was  going  to  come  in 
first."

SPORT  !N  BRIEF 


Simmons 
ponders 
his  future 

Jack  Simmons,  the  45-year- 
old  Lancashire  vice-captain, 
was  considering  his  future 
yesterday  after  being  left  out 
of  the  side  for  the  first  two 
Britannic  Assurance  county 
cricket  championship  matches 
of  the  season.  Simmons  ex- 
pected to  captain  the  team  for 
the  first  match  at  Hove  in  the 
absence  of  Clive  Lloyd  but 
found  himself  on  the  sidelines 
as  Lancashire  earned  a 24- 
poiut  win  over  Sussex. 

The  Lancashire  manager. 
Jack  Bond,  said  yesterday:  “I 
see  no  reason  to  change  things 
for  tomorrow's  match  with 
Leicestershire.  I can  under- 
stand why  Jade  is  disappoint- 
ed but  I can  assure  him  he  still 
has  a big  part  to  play  at  Old 
Trafford.'' 

With  Lloyd  likely  to  be  kept 
out  again  by  Lancashire's 
other  overseas  player,  Patrick 
Patterson,  the  fast  bowler, 
their  opening  batsman. 
Graeme  Fowler,  will  remain 
in  charge  today. 

Simmons  said:  *T  just 
laughed  when  they  told  me  I 
was  out  I thought  they  were 
joking.  I won't  retire  because  I 
won't  be  beaten  but  I will  have 
to  do  some  thinking  about  the 
future."  Simmons,  who  has 
been  al  Old  Trafford  for  18 
years,  has  come  under  pres- 
sure from  Mike  Watkinson, 
the  young  seam  bowler  con- 
verted into  an  off-spinner, 
who  took  five  wickets  at 
Hove. 

Two  players  who  came  face 
to  fare  during  England’s  disas- 
trous tour  of  the  West  Indies. 
Allan  Lamb,  the  England  bats- 
man, and  Roger  Harper,  the 
West  Indian  spinner,  make 
their  first  appearances  of  the 
season  for  Northamptonshire 
when  the  county  open  their 
championship  campaign 
against  Kent  at  Canterbury 

The  off-spinner,  Chris  Dale, 
and  the  all-rounder.  Chris 
Penn,  are  included  in  a squad 
of  13  from  which  Kent  will 
select  their  side. 

Paul  Bakker,  a 27-year-old 
Dutchman,  may  make  his 
first-class  debut  for  Hamp- 
shire in  the  match  against 
Glamorgan  at  Southampton.

Brain  scan 
proposal 

British-based  boxing  cham- 
pions and  contenders  for  titles 
are  likely  to  be  ordered  to 
undergo  regular  brain  scans. 

The  move,  designed  to  im- 
prove safety  in  the  sport, 
seems  certain  to  be  passed  at 
the  British  Boxing  Board  of 
Control's  annual  meeting  on 
May  21. 

The  proposed  change  calls 
for  any  boxer  involved  in 
world.  European.  British  or 
Commonwealth  title  contests 
or  eliminators,  and  area  cham- 
pionships, to  have  scans  be- 
fore bouts. 

New  course 

A £5  million  plan  to  build  a 
championship  golf  course 
near  St  Andrews  has  been 
proposed.  The  development, 
which  would  include  a 100- 
bedroom  hotel  and  a luxury 
sports  complex,  is  to  be  locat- 
ed on  300  acres  in  Leuchars.

Changes 
will  be 
good  for 

the  rest 

It  is  the  earnest  hope  of  the 
Rigby  Football  Umon  (RFU)  ft 
competitions  sob-committee  . 
that  their  third  bite  at  a 
distinctly  similar  cheny  «nu 
prove  successful.  After  tire 
refection  of  the  Burgess  Re- 
port m 1981,  Danie  Serfontem 
met  with  no  more  success  two 
years  ago  when  his  committee 
proposed  a national  merit 
table.  Now  a fresh  look  at  tire 
structure  of  tire  game  bt  E»= 
gfam),  which  wQl  introduce 
integrate!  league  rugby,  has 
been  accepted  by  the  RFU 
committee. 

Bin  Bishop,  the  Cornish 
chairman  of  tire  competitions 
committee,  hopes  the  RFU  | 
{mural  meeting  In  July  will 
accept,  rather  than  debate,  his 
presentation  of  the  new  En- 
glish dub  championship.  This 
will  involve  three  national 
divisions,  two  area  divisions 
representing  the  north  and 
sonth,  and  beneath  that  four 
divisions  representing  the  ex- 
feting  north.  Midlands.  Lon- 
don and  south-west  areas. 

The  sub-structure  may  go 
down  as  Ear  as  necessary  so 
that  any  ambitions  dob  may 
have,  its  chance  to  climb,  the 
whole  being  designed  to  oper- 
ate in  the  1987-88  season  with 
integration  completed  by 
1989.  “During  next  season  we 
hope  to  have  meetings  with  ail 
interested  parties,  dubs,  coun- 
ties and  divisions  to  put  the 
thing  over,”  Bishop  said 
yesterday. 

Automatic 

promotion 


“We  need  assistance,  we  can't 
just  sit  down  and  plan  a great 
mass  nationwide.  A lot  of  tire 
work  that  was  done  before,  by 
John  Bnrgess  and  Danie 
Serfimtem,  Is  the  same,  but  the 
fthnaiu  is  a lot  better  now. 

There  are  a lot  of  middle-order 
dubs  who  want  to  go  some- 
where, dubs  who  want  a fan- 
system  and  the  Cop  dobs  see 
the  need  fire  a democratic 
society.” 

Eric  Smith,  of  OrreU.  a 
member  of  tire  competitions 
committee,  said:  “It's  a most 
exdtin^  prospect  because 
there  mil  be  a national  thread 
running  through  the  whole 
competitive  area  of  tire  game 
with  automatic  promotion  and 
relegation  at  all  stages.  If  yon 
me  good  enough  yon  will  get 
there.” 

The  national  divisions  will 
be  based  on  the  existing  John 
Smith's  merit  tables,  leaving 
the  current  RFU  divisional 
tables  with  only  another  sea- 
son of  life.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  the  new  structure,  incor- 
porating as  it  will  fresh  quali- 
fying roles  for  the  John  Player 
Special  Cup,  will  do  away  with 
anomalies  which  have  so  fre- 
quently arisen. 

The  latest  discrepancy  in- 
volves the  London  merit  cable, 
won  this  season  by  Wasps. 
London  Welsh,  in  eighth 
place,  qualified  for  the  first 
round  of  next  season's  John 
Player  to  ornament  where?? 
Richmond,  one  place 
them,  go  through  to  the 
round  thanks  to  the  MiddL 
Cup  — _ whose  whiners 
automatically  given  a 
seeding. 


Pilot 

schemes 


Had  Richmond  non 
county  cup  that  migbt\u_>» 
been  reasonable.  But  the^ 
were  knocked-oot  in  the  semi- 
finals, only  to  be  treated  as 
winners  because  the  other 
three  semi-finalists,  Saracens 
(the  winners).  Wasps  and 
Harlequins,  all  qualified  by 
finishing  in  tire  top  six  of  the 
merit  taWe. 


— P -~Jists  in 

the  Middlesex  Cup  contest  a 
first-round  place  in  the  John 
Player,  with  Mill  Hill  (who 
beat  Uxbridge  at  the  weekend) 
waiting  to  see  which  of  Grass- 
hoppers or  Metropolitan  Po- 
lice they  must  play  for  the 
vacancy. 

A property  managed  league 
system  is  clearly  the  way 
forward  for  English  rugby 
ralher_  than  an  amorphous 
collection  of  merit  tables 
which  do  not  lead  anywhere.
